About

I'm CTO at Pactum AI. I build the AI products and wearing a CIO hat, run the enterprise technology the company depends on. I see AI agents from both ends: building them for Fortune 500 procurement teams, and adopting them across a 150-person company.

Pactum's AI agents have autonomously negotiated tens of billions of dollars in supplier deals — we've been building autonomous negotiation agents since before GPT-3 existed. Internally, I run an AI transformation initiative where we've rolled out general-purpose AI agents to every employee, not just engineers.

This site is working notes: what I'm building and learning, often written before I've figured it out. Thinking-in-progress is more useful than polished conclusions.

Background

Before Pactum: built and led the AI team at Veriff (now a unicorn) — rebuilt the core product around AI. Founded NFTPort ($26M Series A). Based in Tallinn, Estonia.

Speaking

I give occasional talks on deploying AI in production, enterprise AI adoption, and operating complex systems. Selected talks and topics are here.

Working together

Not pursuing large ongoing commitments. Open to concrete, time-limited projects that align with my priorities.
