Leaders want AI working by next Tuesday. Most teams need to get three foundations right first — and none of them are on the conference slides. The bridge from "AI is capable" to "AI delivers measurable value in your product" is engineering, not a platform.
“Recognised F# Expert” — F# Software Foundation, Applied F# 2019.
Fifteen years in .NET · invited tofsprojects by Don Syme.
A working session with your product and engineering leads. What are you actually trying to change — revenue, throughput, cost, experience? No slide deck, no vendor pitch.
I read what you have. Architecture, data shape, team shape. I identify the places where AI genuinely fits and the places where a simpler heuristic would ship first.
A defensible shortlist of AI moves scoped to your stack and your people. Each with effort estimate, risk, and a concrete success check. No "platform" recommendation.
A written argument — what's worth doing, what to skip, what to revisit in six months — and a working conversation with your team so the reasoning stays in-house after I'm gone.

Computation Expressions in F# — full tutorial track with David Schaefer.
bobkonf.de →Co-host on the community format run with G-Research OSS. Long-form practitioner conversations.
github.com/SchlenkR →Outside client work, I build. Here's the short version — what this guy actually does when he's not consulting.
Less than hiring a senior full-time. Scoped explicitly — no retainer trap, no seat-based staffing arithmetic. You know the boundary before we start.
An agency builds more capacity. I make your existing team capable. Different job. The deliverable is a document and a defensible decision, not a delivery team.
Yes. DACH and remote EU, both supported. Working sessions over video, code walkthroughs in your repo, written output you can forward in the next board meeting. Onsite possible for team-facing days.
Tell me where you are, what you've tried, and what you're hoping this unlocks. You'll get a reply, not a proposal deck.
