Would you like to use AI in a workflow, choose suitable tools or train your team?
I am Christian Grobmeier. I help you assess the technical options and put them into practice. We look at what suits your task, how to check the results and what your team needs for everyday use.
Your consultant
I develop and maintain software, including Time & Bill, and have contributed to the Apache Software Foundation since 2009. My consulting draws on my experience as a developer, Open Source maintainer and trainer.
Want to put AI to work, but unsure where to start? Together, we’ll find an approach that fits your business.

Your starting point
We start with a task from your everyday work. Where we begin depends on your current situation.
Your team already uses different AI services. You want to understand what makes sense for your business and how to manage their use.
You have a specific use case. You need someone to assess the technical implementation with you and help you carry it out.
The tools are in place. Your team needs practice, shared ways of working and a clear approach to checking results.
We also consider whether an existing solution is enough, or whether the task is better handled without AI.
Working together
We discuss recurring tasks, existing tools and your expectations. We look at data, responsibilities and potential limits.
You receive: a short written assessment with prioritised applications, requirements still to resolve and a recommendation for the next step.
We choose a workflow and agree how to judge whether AI helps. Then we set up the tools and test the application with a small team.
You receive: a tested application, documented workflows and a recommendation: continue, adapt or stop.
Your team works with relevant examples from its own day-to-day work. We practise writing clear instructions, checking results and handling confidential information.
You receive: exercise materials, guidance on checking results and an agreed follow-up session. Your team practises using the tools on relevant tasks.
You can book each format separately. We agree the scope, effort and deliverables in advance. An initial engagement might review one workflow and prepare a small trial. We agree any further implementation or ongoing support separately.
Possible applications
These examples show possible starting points. Which ones make sense depends on your workflows, data and existing systems.
One possible test: use an existing AI tool to draft a reply or summarise a longer document. Together, we check whether this helps in everyday work and what expert review is still needed.
Find information in approved documents and prepare answers with sources that can be checked. Access permissions remain part of the task.
Introduce AI tools into development and learn to understand, test and take responsibility for generated code.
Your working environment
A working environment is useful when people can use it and responsibilities are clear. Together, we address:
What fits your tasks and existing systems?
Which data may be processed, and who can access it?
Who checks the results and decides how they are used?
What ongoing costs and support will be needed?
We consider privacy and security when selecting and setting up tools. Where needed, we resolve open questions with your IT team and those responsible for data protection.
Experience and responsibility
I have been developing and maintaining software since 2001. I have been delivering technical training since 2017 and have taught hundreds of people. I am a Java Champion and a TÜV-certified Data Protection Officer.
I have contributed to the Apache Software Foundation since 2009, including work on Log4j. Today, I also serve as Vice President, Data Privacy. This experience shapes how I work: explaining clearly, considering technical consequences and making responsibilities explicit.
You work directly with me. I combine technical implementation and training to help turn a first trial into an application your team can work with.

Write a few lines about the task you have in mind, the tools you already use and who will be working with them. I will reply personally. In an initial conversation, we can discuss whether and how I can help.
