Project details
I will help you scope out your idea for an AI or machine learning project or startup.
During our call, we will discuss your project and I will answer any questions you have. In past calls, I've helped clients answer questions like:
🤖 What exactly is AI/ML? What can and can't it do?
📈 In which of your business problems can AI/ML most quickly drive value?
💽 What kind of data do you need to collect and how much do you need?
💡 What prototype should you build to test your idea or secure additional funding? What steps should you take to build it?
💲 What skills do you need to hire for? How long will it take and how much will it cost?
🤦♂️What are the most common errors businesses make using AI/ML and how can you avoid them?
Some reasons to select me to guide your project:
⭐ I have worked with hundreds of startups and SMBs over the past 4 years with nearly 100% 5-star reviews
📚 I have a firm technical grasp of AI/ML but am also good at explaining it to non-technical clients
🤝 I have often worked with clients after our initial consultation
Please book your call 24 hours in advance or message me directly for earlier availability.

Nick responded promptly to my purchase of a starter package and was very easy to speak with when we jumped on a video conference call. My need for understanding the initial AI project effort was so I could better understand scope and effort around certain AI development tasks so I could better handle an emerging issue with a former colleague / now potential business partner. Nick was very helpful. He also showed the appropriate degree of discretion understanding the nuanced situation. I left the meeting with an appreciation for his knowledge and experience within the topic AI/ML engineering, AND with his professionalism as a consultant to inform / not influence considering the broader issue.
I hope to work with Nick again.

Medical Questionnaire Automation using AI/ML
Nick was excellent to work with! He took the time to understand the problem our company was facing and provided feedback on how AI/ML can be utilized to automate the process. I would highly recommend Nick for anyone looking for a qualified AI/ML expert.
