Hey there! 👋

• My name is Filip and my passion is AI. I've been in the IT game for over a decade and have been in the AI space for over 7 years.

• I’ve transitioned from purely technical research roles to business and leadership positions, gaining a deep understanding of technical matters and how to generate business value and ROI with tech.

• Currently, I'm developing AI-powered SaaS to tackle inefficiencies in authenticating second-hand luxury items, effectively preventing counterfeits from entering the market.

• I run a one-stop-shop AI agency that consults companies on AI integration, builds teams to execute technical roadmaps, and delivers innovative solutions that drive real value for SMEs.

• My superpower is the ability to deliver business results with complex, cutting-edge technology in the most cost-effective way.

Bio

• Worked in R&D at Samsung's largest research centre in Europe and was the 10th employee to join TCL Research Europe where I worked on global R&D projects in NLP and Computer Vision / Generative AI used by users of TCL and Samsung smartphones worldwide.

• Founded Berlin-based startup to address inefficiencies in food safety testing (mycotoxin detection and foreign body detection) and quality using hyperspectral imaging and machine learning.

• I've successfully brought AI solutions to life in various domains including consumer electronics, food tech / manufacturing, ed-tech, sales enablement, customer service, retail, geospatial, and legal.

How can I help you?

• Identify AI opportunities: pinpoint where AI can add value and drive growth in your business.

I believe…

• In the following approach: Problem → Return On Investment → Solution with the leanest possible use of resources to test hypotheses.

• Boring businesses and verticals are the most interesting.

• AI will disrupt every industry, but LLMs are just one small piece of the puzzle.

• Not every problem needs AI or technology.

• We've let big tech know a bit too much about us, haven't we?

• I'm all in for no-code and low-code movement.

• Relying too much on OpenAI or GPT for products can be a bit risky. Cool for prototyping, but open source is the way to go in the long run.

• Certain inefficiencies are necessary in life.

Personal

• I like to mix work and travel. Working in the city makes me feel like I belong and dive deeper into the culture.

• Love photography. Currently exploring the limits of phone photography. Have a custom-made setup from old Zenith lenses and Sony Alpha camera.

• I love Korean, Vietnamese, Thai and Chinese food. I'm obsessed with making my own kimchi.

• I need the outdoors to live. Had two month-long trips campervanning (camping in a car) in Oregon and California.

• I don't enjoy watching sports, but I love playing volleyball (both beach and indoor) and doing CrossFit.

• I'm into crafts - leatherwork and pottery.

• Podcasts are my inspiration. My first million & a16z are my favorite.
