Uneven usage
A few developers fly, the rest tried it twice. The gap is rarely talent. It is setup, conventions and knowing the failure modes.
Claude Code adoption · on site in Berlin
I get software teams productive with Claude Code on their own code.
Two days on site with your developers, four weeks of follow-up, fixed price. For companies with 5 to 30 in-house developers, any stack.
PhD in AI. Formerly Microsoft Research and Nota AI. Through ceetas GmbH.
Who this is for
You already pay for Claude Code and usage across the team is uneven. Or you have just taken over software from a partner and your team has to own it now.
Software just taken over
A codebase your team did not write and now has to ship on. Claude Code is the fastest way in, once it is set up for that repository.
Your stack, your repository
Not a demo project. Your repo, your CI, your tickets. Python, TypeScript, Java, C#, Go, whatever you run.
Not a fit: teams without in-house developers, and teams that want someone to build the software for them. For those I can point you to a build partner.
Format

I am a computer scientist in Berlin. Since 2014 I have trained models at the University of Jena, UC Berkeley, Microsoft Research and Nota AI, and for the last year I got a team shipping with Claude Code. Now I do that for other teams.
