working

what i'm working on, and ways we might work together.

────────────────────────────────────────

currently at apoco

i'm the ai lead at apoco, working with the team to develop brainio into a platform where people and agents work together. that means product development, research, and figuring out what this should look like in a team's everyday work.

i'm particularly interested in how we can measure whether agents help teams become more productive, including the effort it takes to work with them. we're still exploring the questions, and i'm looking forward to doing that with the team and partners we find along the way.

more about my first two months at apoco

ai is changing how we build, how we work, and quietly, who we think we need to be. i've spent years on the technical side of that shift, and years on the human side — coaching people through change. i don't think you can separate the two anymore. here's how i can help.

coaching

i'm an icf-certified coach. i work with people in the middle of a change they didn't entirely choose — a new role, a new chapter, or the slow realisation that the thing they were good at is being rewritten by ai. that one's close to home: i've watched brilliant engineers and builders quietly wonder where they fit now. the work isn't about reaching some new high. it's about orientation. both feet on the ground. what still matters to you, and who you want to be on the other side. individuals, and sometimes whole teams.

solution architecture

taking a tangle of requirements and constraints and finding the shape that actually holds. system design, the trade-offs nobody wants to make explicit, how the pieces fit and where they'll break under load. fourteen years across architecture, technical sales, and leadership taught me this part. i love a hard problem — and i love helping teams actually get things out into the world, and get them right.

working well with ai

where could agents help your team, and how would you know they're helping? i like working through those questions with people, trying things in their actual work and seeing what changes. the quality of what comes back matters, and so does the time and attention it takes to use it. there's work to do around the models too: skills, context, workflows, and checking that what we've built does what we need.

harness engineering hackathons

a focused format for leveling up a team's ai craft together. we spend the time building real harnesses — skills, context, agents, evaluation — on your own problems, and your people leave knowing how to keep going without me. i call it harness lab.

speaking & webinars

talks and sessions on ai, teams, and the human parts that are easy to lose in the rush. for engineers, for leaders, for anyone who can feel the ground moving and wants to think about it honestly.

not sure which of these you need? that's completely fine — most good conversations start there. write to me at os@ondrejsvec.com and we'll figure it out.

no pitch. just a conversation.
