Professional Profile
Where design thinking
meets AI engineering.
Dynamic AI & Automation specialist with a strong consulting mindset and 10+ years of experience turning complex business needs into high-impact, production-ready solutions. As founder of Scale By Tech, I have designed and delivered dozens of OpenAI-powered automations, chatbots, RAG systems, and ML workflows.
My background spans project and production management, CRM roll-outs, and international sales — giving me the commercial insight to spot the real levers of value and communicate them clearly from workshop to go-live.
I thrive in winning, cross-functional teams, and I'm at my best when I can work with both ideation and implementation. My goal in every engagement is simple: create outsized value and deliver AI solutions that save time, are easy to debug and optimize, and can scale with the business.

Personal & Volunteering
Beyond the screen.
I'm 38 years old and currently living in Øster Hornum with my wife Helene and our two boys — Marius (10) and Anton (8). Like most parents with kids this age, a lot of my time goes to family activities. The rest? AI & Automation projects, usually after the kids are asleep.
Once a week I train one of the local gymnastics teams — something I've been doing since I was eight years old. It evolved into a real passion and shaped who I am. Beyond competing, I've trained teams at every age level and helped organize club activities and fundraising for gymnastics travels.
Gymnastics Highlights
- Training seniors 18+
- Training regional teams
- Training juniors 6–18
- Junior & Senior DM medals
- Senior EM medal
