AI CHAMP Tony: AI Consultant, Developer & Mentor

During my 20-year career, I developed websites in the very early internet, founded and ran 2 marketing agencies, helped launch several successful startups, and failed a few of my own. Originally from Russia, for the last 12 years I have been living location independent. Started my journey with 1 year in India and 30,000 km on a motorcycle through Europe, went on dancing in Brazil for 2 years and scuba diving in Asia for another 2. One thing never changed — whatever I do, I geek out over it.

Having joined the blockchain sector in 2017, the first 2 years I worked as an ICO growth hacker in 3 startups, contributing $17m to their $50m raise. April 2022 brought my a-ha moment, and since then, there hasn't been a day when a thought hasn't passed through my mind: 'How did we end up in the future that Asimov, Clarke, and others were predicting?

Currently my work involves:

- Helping start-ups and established organizations build AI agents and integrate other AI tools into their processes to save time and reduce spend on marketing, support, community management and operations.
- Mentor start-ups in Outlier Ventures AI+Web3 basecamp.
- Host of The AI Champs Podcast, having conversations with industry leaders about how AI is changing the world today and tomorrow, and how to prepare for this change.

10+ Years of experience implementing prompt engineering strategies and LLM enabled processes

They call me the champ for a reason - that's because I have proven experience and expertise implementing data-driven processes across start-ups and SMB's. With a focus on making your data more efficient, I am here to provide you with the resources and expertise you need to navigate the implementation of these cutting edge technologies.
