30 years of building, failing, learning, and delivering. Not a consultant who theorizes — a builder who ships.

Tomas Andre

Technology Leader & AI Strategist

Stockholm, Sweden

My father asked me when I was 14: "What problem will you solve?" I didn't understand then. Programming itself seemed like the challenge. Now, 30 years later, I finally get it — it's never about the code, it's about solving the problem.

The Foundation Years

In 1995, I founded Visionutveckling — an IT services company that grew into telecom solutions. I chose Delphi as my development tool, an outsider choice prioritizing function over popularity. This approach would define my entire career.

Through the telecom industry, we scaled from consultants to product company, reaching 85 employees before the first exit. Along the way, I learned that understanding the entire chain — from problem to payment — matters more than any technical expertise alone.

The Exploration Phase

Post-exit, I explored. Digital marketing. Hospitality. Platform development. Some ventures succeeded, others taught expensive lessons. I invested significant capital in visualization tools that solved problems customers didn't want solved.

The failures taught me more than the successes. Technical excellence without market understanding is just an expensive hobby.

The AI Awakening

When OpenAI released Whisper in 2022, something clicked. An old idea about transcribing conversations suddenly became possible. Combined with 25 years of note-taking and mind-mapping, I saw the potential clearly.

Today, I train senior developers and organizations in AI-assisted development. Not theory — hands-on work with real code, real results. Validated 7-8x productivity improvements. Systems that move from pilot to production, where 87% of AI initiatives fail.

“One person can deliver value to thousands — without compromising quality.”

What I Bring

Technical depth: Still coding daily. Understand both legacy systems and cutting-edge tools.
Business perspective: Have lived off what I built for 30 years. Understand value creation, not just code.
Practical teaching: Train with your code, in your context, solving your problems.
Honest assessment: I tell you what won't work. No hype, no magic promises.

Philosophy

How I work

Personal Accountability

"You own every line of code, AI is just the tool." No blame-shifting, no excuses. If it fails, it's on me.

Complete Delivery

Problem → Solution → Delivery → Payment. Never just one piece. Understand the entire chain.

Action Over Talk

Thoughts without execution are worthless. We build, we don't just theorize.

Brutal Honesty

I'll tell you what AI can't do. What won't work. Transparency builds trust; hype destroys it.
