What I do now
I build Feedwrk with its team: connect a Shopify store and every product goes out to each sales channel, checked and fixed on the way. Agents write most of the code, a second model reviews it, and I set the direction and approve what ships.
I do part-time engineering for Buddaban, which builds monitoring and control for indoor farms and greenhouses: its CRM, deployments and telemetry.
And I teach founders, owners and executives in Riga one to one, on a monthly retainer, to work with AI this way. I also train teams and run AI audits.
