Thomas Hansen

Thomas studied the theory of neural nets, backpropagation, and related concepts independently in the late 90s. However, his interest waned during the AI winter until a few years ago.

He has been coding since 1982, and although his current product involves AI, his team does not build their own models. They are capable of working with models like Llama, Mistral, and Grok, which are open source, and could deploy their own LLM model if requested.

Thomas authored the fifth most popular article on software architecture ever published by Microsoft, focusing on a programming language specifically created for AI. This was written seven years ago.

In the software architecture world, Thomas has been headhunted by most of the top Nasdaq 10 companies for management and research positions, including Microsoft and Amazon.

With 41 years of software development experience, totaling roughly 90,000 hours, Thomas is internationally recognized as a leading expert in all things related to software development.
