How he works

He sees the architecture of a company as a whole and at the same time understands how each department works from the inside, from sales and logistics staff to the heads of departments and divisions.

He knows what the hierarchy should be and the rules by which departments hand work to each other: who prepares which documents and who is responsible for what. That is how he settles long-running disputes between departments: every step gets an owner and a clear document.

He has written and put in place a large number of procedures and described every system he worked with, so that processes could be simplified and automated. He was doing this long before AI became an everyday working tool.

He is the link between business people and developers: he turns what the owner and the departments need into tasks for programmers and makes sure the system does exactly that. Programmers rarely speak the language of business, and the business side cannot see how a system is built.

Experience

In business since 2010. He has held a range of roles at large companies: he was a chief executive, sat on the board of a building materials group and headed a quality control department. He trained the chief executives of manufacturing companies to build internal business processes and work with data.

In 2011 he became the lead of a seven-person development team at a discount coupon service. Together they designed from scratch a CRM, an ERP, a planning system and other tools for teamwork, internal processes, external data collection and competitor analysis. Working at the coupon service showed him how very different companies work from the inside. In all, he has held hundreds of meetings with the founders and representatives of restaurants and cafes, amusement parks and entertainment centres, ski resorts, factories and logistics centres.

At a business education company that was rolling out Salesforce, he ran the call centre. He helped put sales procedures in place, tested sales hypotheses and set up the CRM with the developers, giving them business tasks.

Later, as head of the commercial department at a continuing professional education company, he worked on setting up Microsoft Dynamics and built rule-based tables that kept each department’s management accounts.

He has led all his other projects independently, not as an employee: he built them from scratch with a team of programmers and industry experts. He factors legal requirements for data, documents and websites into a system at the design stage.

The Logicore approach

We write down the experience of the founder and the Logicore team as procedures. We use them to set up AI agents for each client’s tasks and to design the client’s system.

For us, AI is a tool for programming and design; it does not replace the architecture. The code written with its help runs without it: if the AI is switched off, only the AI agents stop and the rest of the system keeps working.
