NIAK — engineering, product, AI and automation

Work · How I work · Toolbox · Activity


I build useful systems out of messy problems.

I'm a computer engineer by training with more than a decade across software, web, e-commerce and digital systems. I work where technical architecture, product thinking and business performance meet.

  • Engineering roots — applications, information systems, web platforms and process automation.
  • Product & business scale — acquisition, marketplaces, analytics, conversion and multi-market e-commerce.
  • Current focus — AI, automation, observability and systems designed to remain understandable as they grow.
Background in 30 seconds
  • Built business applications and web tools before moving into broader digital project work.
  • Led digital marketing and e-commerce across 20+ web properties in four European markets.
  • Worked across development, project ownership, SEO/SEA, marketplaces, analytics, tracking and conversion.
  • Today I use that hybrid background to design products that connect code, users, operations and business constraints.

Engineering to digital systems to growth and commerce to product and AI

What I bring

⚙️ Engineering & systems

Interfaces, constraints, data flows, failure modes and maintainability.



⚡ Product & growth

Technical decisions connected to users, conversion, operations and business value.



🤖 AI & automation

Reasoning and assisted workflows with important decisions kept reviewable.



🧩 Open source

Inspectable, reproducible systems with explicit boundaries and evidence.




Selected work

NiakVIO

NiakVIO — a maintainable provider engine built around compatibility evidence, repair and native-device validation.

What NiakVIO focuses on
  • Structured provider architecture and reusable provider knowledge.
  • Native-device Labs across TV, mobile and desktop.
  • Evidence-based compatibility, diagnosis and repair.
  • Validation and safer publication instead of optimistic green checks.

NiakGPT

NiakGPT — a local-first power workspace for longer, more structured ChatGPT work.

What NiakGPT focuses on
  • Local-first architecture and explicit ownership boundaries.
  • Better navigation and continuity for long-running Projects.
  • Native-feeling browser UX rather than a separate dashboard.
  • Automation that extends the product without obscuring what it is doing.

How I work

Three rules stay visible in almost everything I build:

  • Understand the real problem before automating it.
  • Prefer evidence over assumptions.
  • Design for failure, observation and repair.
The principles behind that
  • Make the complex understandable.
  • Automate repetition — not responsibility.
  • Keep failure states visible instead of manufacturing green checks.
  • Use AI to extend judgment, not hide it.
  • Let architecture protect iteration rather than impress people.
  • Ship → observe → repair → simplify → repeat.

Understand, model, build, validate, observe, repair
