Technical AI consulting
with a human-centered background.

I can help your team write their first evals, help you design and build your AI product, or provide hands-on support evolving your business.

Why work with Peter?

I understand business / I am technical

In 2023, I founded HelpfulIntelligence to build human-centered AI products. I've been learning and building ever since.

Here's how I can help:

  • Help your team create their first evals
  • Technical product management for your AI product
  • Bring in the right technical talent (bioacoustics!)
  • Build AI automations that work for your teams

I've been an Information Architect, UX Designer, Software Engineer and C-level executive. But ever since LLMs got good, I've been really loving the hands-on work. Work with teams. Understand the humans. Build the technology.

Here's what I believe:

  • The technology is real and continues to accelerate
  • As the tech filters into our operations, there are both great opportunities and great risks for business the next few years
  • Roles and workflows are changing
  • Fundamentals are still true. Create more value than you capture. Treat people like people.
