    My AI Offering

    AI LLM technology enables amazing new products that have never been built before while also being a fantastic technology for workflow automations. Regardless if you have the latest and greatest idea or simply want to be magnitudes faster in what you do, I'm here to help.

    AI as Tooling

    Using AI tools to achieve higher productivity, higher quality and a lower cost. AI productivity tools can make people up to 10x more efficient.

    • Agentic Workflows

      Automate manual processes with AI — code reviews, tests, PRs, documentation. Turn repetitive work into reliable automation.

    • Skills

      Equip the AI with the skills it needs to perform tasks at high quality, high speed and low cost.

    • Tools / MCP

      Develop tools for the AI to use when needed — databases, internal systems, external integrations.

    • Security

      Make AI tooling secure for the corporate environment. Mitigate access, costs and data leak risks.

    • Best Practices

      How to get AI started in large codebases, and how to keep scaling AI usage efficiently and performantly.

    • User Tooling

      Claude Code, VS Code, Cursor, Claude Workspace — how to get the most out of the tools around AI.

    • Migration

      Migrate a legacy project into an AI-empowered project — without breaking what already works.

    AI as Product

    Building products that use AI in meaningful ways — internally, externally, or public-facing. The new product space that AI has opened up.

    • RAG Systems

      AI that can use large bodies of documents or data to answer questions and perform tasks with relevant context.

    • Data Structuring

      AI reads human-written documents and turns them into structured data so users and other AI systems can search and act on them.

    • Chatbots

      Chatbots that can make decisions and take actions on their own. They learn and improve with every user interaction.

    • AI Products

      Products that use AI at their core — image recognition, classification, semantic search, intelligent automation.

    Why i went full AI

    Backstory

    AI — LLMs in particular — is one of the most important inventions of the last decade. I'm a firm believer that its journey has just begun and will change how we work and how we organize ourselves.
    After leaving my last employment I wanted to learn more and was blown away by the AI-LLM technology, what it can do, and what it will do. It is simply fantastic and I wanted to be part of it. I decided to go all in, learning best practices by proper education and obsessive hands on experience.
    If it is either productive improvements, quality improvements or building the latest and greatest products, I'm all in.

    Why me

    With my background in engineering and product leadership, I have a strong foundation to successfully empower you and your team or product with the latest AI-LLM technology.

    My Description

    More than just code — understanding the person behind the leader.

    Henrik Ralvert — AI Engineer and Engineering Manager based in Stockholm

    Mechanical Engineer turned Software Leader

    Based in Stockholm, I'm a results-driven Engineering and Product Leader with experience scaling teams, platforms, and products in regulated and high-scale environments. I focus on servant leadership, delivery predictability, clarity, transparency, and building systems that enable teams to perform sustainably.

    I get my energy from improvements and people. For me, it's important that we succeed with our projects while simultaneously building each other up. I always lead by example and strive to create an environment where people can thrive, grow, and take ownership.

    Outside work, I do physical home improvements and other practical projects that broaden me as a person.

    🎯

    Pragmatic

    I work in trade-offs and lean toward practical solutions. I always ask: 'What problem are we trying to solve?'

    🤝

    People First

    When people around me grow, it makes me happy. I develop individuals to lead themselves and support those who are in need.

    📈

    Continuous Improvement

    We learn by trying, analyzing, and iterating. I'm not afraid of mistakes — we solve them early before they grow.

    🧘

    Energetic & Rational

    I bring a healthy dose of positive energy to the team while staying calm and rational in stressful situations.

    What I'm Looking For

    Open for recruitment, consultancy assignments, and software projects.

    AI & Engineering

    Technology at the core. We stay curious and embrace new advancements that strengthen our position as a company and as individuals.

    Product Ownership

    A place where we build products with high ownership and commercial impact. I take pride in shipping valuable products that users love.

    Challenges

    I like challenges that push me to grow. Whether it's solving complex problems, leading teams through change, or navigating uncertainty, I thrive on making things better.

    Great Colleagues

    Working with sincere and curious colleagues. We support each other and strive to build a better department together.
