product for the
EU bubble.
Small, fast, AI-native digital tools for institutions, trade associations, NGOs and EU-adjacent ecosystem — where tech skills are rare and whose needs are often disregarded by the big firms.

01 — About
A product builder
who reads regulation
as a native, not a tourist.
What I do
- Product strategy and delivery From discovery to a working tool — scoped to ship in weeks, not quarters.
- Digital sovereignty by design Optional EU-hosted stacks, data residency, vendor exit plans — and a clear answer to "where does the data live."
- Procurement-aware scoping Fixed-price engagements designed to fit advisory budget lines, not nine-month IT cycles.
- Regulation translated into product AI Act, DSA, DMA, GDPR turned into specs your engineers can quote against.
- Open-source-first delivery Optional Working code you can fork. No proprietary lock-in, MIT or AGPL by default, hand-over inside the engagement.

Product Discovery
Five user calls, one verdict — build or skip.
User research, a one-pager, a Figma sketch, a build-or-skip recommendation in language a board can read.

Regulation Into Product
The spec for what the new regulation means for your stack.
I read the regulation, sit with your team for a day, and write the product spec your engineers can actually quote against.
