Testimonials
"Denis joined when we had a model in a notebook and a pitch deck. Three months later we had a production pipeline, an eval setup we trusted, and our first paying customer. He wrote tickets and sat in standups like he was on the team."
"We needed someone who understood LLMs and Computer Vision at the product level, not just the research. Denis helped us design the ML pipeline and the LLM layer, cut inference costs by 40%, and set the roadmap we took into due diligence."
"Denis can spend an hour with engineering and the next hour with the founder, and be useful in both. He made clear calls, and we could act on them."
"We build products for funded startups, and I bring Denis in when a client needs product thinking. He scoped a project in one session that would have taken us weeks. He worked on three of our best launches."
