AI Tech Lead & Builder | Berlin
Nazar Sopiha
I take AI products from pre-sales ambiguity to production: staff the team, own the architecture, ship the system, and stand in front of the customer. My background also includes front-end contract work from 2016, a founding-team stint at a smart-home startup, and advisory engagements since 2019.

Directions
-
GenAI in production
Two GenAI systems that outlived their demos: a greenfield customer platform shipped to production with a 7-person team, and an internal accelerator a whole practice reaches for in presales and upskilling.
-
Automotive AI
AI for the automotive industry, owned end to end: a 6-month GPU-evaluation engagement for a Tier-1 supplier - pre-sales, a 6-person team built from scratch, and a verdict the customer takes into roadmap discussions.
-
Team building & advisory
Two 6-7 person teams built from scratch under pre-sales ambiguity - plus front-end contract work from 2016, a founding-team startup stint, and advisory engagements since 2019.
-
Embedded & low-level
The discipline years: grew from IC to module owner on a battery management system that reached Start of Production, sat on the Change Control Board, and set up a greenfield team's process baseline.
-
Agents & automation
A real system, not a demo: an agentic pipeline that turns one master profile into per-target CVs, cover letters, and an application tracker - built to be used, and used daily.
-
About & credentials
The credentials behind the projects - and the personal discipline behind the credentials: M.Sc. Computer Science at TU Berlin (1.0/1.0).
Working with me
I work with founders and engineering leaders in three shapes, sized from a few hours a month to full-attention bursts.
Advisory
AI roadmaps, build-vs-buy calls, and process automation for SMBs - work I have done since 2019 for companies, an investment fund, and non-profits.
Fractional tech leadership
Pre-sales to production ownership: scoping ambiguous requirements, hiring and running the team, and answering for the result in front of the customer.
Hands-on delivery
GenAI platforms, retrieval systems, and hardware evaluation engagements - architected and shipped, not just advised on.
