AI for drawings, machines and the people who work with them.
I develop and test AI with engineering and operations teams. We turn expert judgement, technical documents and operational data into tools people can inspect and use.
Start with the expertise
What your best specialist knows rarely fits in one document.
A detailer recognises a missing dimension. A technician knows which measurement could explain a fault. A planner knows when a recorded date is not the real delivery. That judgement determines what AI needs to learn, ask and check.
I investigate those decisions with the people doing the work, then build the technical system. We make exceptions and tacit knowledge explicit, test outputs together and determine where human review remains necessary.

I’m Fausto Albers.
My background in sociology and entrepreneurship shapes how I approach technical questions: who does the work, what knowledge do they use, and what should a system change for them?
I work on applied AI with Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences and industrial partners, created the Newton research workbench, and co-founded AI Builders Club. Research, software and teaching keep my work connected to practice.
