When you need me
Six typical situations
These are the situations that bring clients to me. Do you recognise yourself?
A legacy system is to be replaced
…and nobody knows how to do it without risking operations.
A project is getting out of control
Deadlines slip, responsibilities are unclear, trust is fading.
Business and IT talk past each other
Someone is missing who understands both sides and sets priorities.
You want to use AI sensibly
Without hype, with clear benefit and under control of your data.
New requirements must be implemented
Regulation, telematics, security: technically clean and on time.
A development team should grow
Profiles, selection, processes and a sparring partner for leadership.
How I help
Six ways I move your project forward
Whether architecture, steering, development or AI: you do not have to coordinate five providers. I cover the roles your project needs right now, several at once if necessary.
Why Kai Schmudlach Consulting GmbH
Four reasons to work with me
One fixed point of contact
From the first enquiry to handover you talk to the same person, with no sales layer and no hand-offs.
Hands-on
I do not only design, I build along. Statements about effort and feasibility are therefore reliable.
Industries with rules
Energy, healthcare, public sector, finance: environments where traceability and security count.
AI from practice
My own AI tools since 2022, with a focus on data protection and local operation.
“…very professional, competent and always implemented to our complete satisfaction.”
From a written reference letter by the head of research & development of a building technology company (translated from the German original)
One point of contact
From idea to operation in one hand
Many projects fail at the hand-overs between roles. I keep the thread through all phases.
Understand
Clarify goal, scope and starting point. As business consultant and analyst.
Decide
Fix architecture, technology and approach. As software architect.
Build
Prioritise and implement requirements. As product owner and developer.
Steer
Keep deadlines, risks and stakeholders under control. As project lead.
Hand over
Pass on knowledge, enable the team, roll out cleanly. As coach.
The person behind the company
Consulting is bought from people.
“I do not deliver slide decks but solutions that I am accountable for myself: from the design to the last line of code.”
My path began in research with augmented and virtual reality, led through founding and building companies, and ended in 2010 in independent consulting, today Kai Schmudlach Consulting GmbH. Since then I have worked as architect, project lead and developer in industries where mistakes are expensive. Today I combine this experience with practical AI.
More about meAI that works in everyday life
Do not get replaced, master AI.
Since 2022 I have been developing my own AI tools: agents, RAG search across documents, locally run language models, integration via MCP. I bring this practice into your company: from the first use case to safe introduction in the team.
