About Rasmus
AI systems builder, startup operator, consultant, and board advisor — New York City
Core Mission
Design agentic workflows that compress cycle time from idea to impact. Focus on measurable outcomes, simple interfaces, and maintainable systems teams actually use.
Background
Two decades of performance and alpine travel shaped how I work: preparation beats heroics, trust compounds, and constraints drive creativity. I bring those lessons to technical collaboration.
How I Work
Here are the values that guide how I collaborate with teams and approach technical challenges:
Own outcomes
Take responsibility for results; collaborate closely so solutions actually solve the business problem.
Synthesize across domains
Blend AI research, product strategy, and UX to find practical, simple solutions.
Small bets, fast feedback
Break down complexity; test hypotheses quickly; measure and iterate.
Iterate with data
Prototype rapidly and use data plus team feedback to guide the next step.
These values help me contribute effectively to team projects and support our collective success.
