Why This Workshop Works

Unlike consultants who deliver PowerPoints, I've actually built these systems.

I built a Bloomberg competitor with just €50k (not €50M), deployed 27B parameter LLMs in production, and saved banks millions on AI implementations. This workshop condenses 25 years of experience into 2 intensive days.
