“We have an idea. We need a workable plan.”
I help turn your goal into a practical design, with sensible scope, technology choices and delivery expectations—before you commit to a build.

How I Help
You’re in familiar territory.
This ain’t my first rodeo. I’ve spent over 10 years helping businesses build their own software. Here are some of the challenges clients bring to me.
“Our team is busy, but we’re not making enough progress.”
I work with you and your engineers to understand what’s slowing delivery, clarify priorities and help the team turn effort into useful results.
“We need someone we can trust on the technical decisions.”
Whether you’re choosing software, hiring engineers or weighing advice from suppliers, I bring experienced technical judgement without the commitment of a full-time CTO.
“We want to put AI to work in our engineering team.”
I help your team adopt AI coding tools and engineering agents, develop practical skills and establish workflows that make the tools useful in everyday work.
“We’ve built a prototype. What comes next?”
I help work out what still needs validating and what it will take to turn an early version into something people can rely on.
“Our team needs the skills to take the next step.”
I tailor training and workshops to the challenges your people face, helping them build technical capability, work through decisions and put new approaches into practice.

About me
Hi, I’m Kale.
I’m a sandgroper*, a physicist-by-trade, and an AI Engineer. I founded Prometheus AI in 2020 with the vision to help companies build AI systems efficiently, effectively, and without giving into the hype.
I help business leaders and engineering teams work out what to do next, whether that means making a technical decision, getting delivery back on track or finding a practical use for AI.
My approach is simple: understand the problem, find the root cause and choose the simplest workable solution. Sometimes that means building software. Sometimes it means making better use of what you already have.
When you work with Prometheus AI, you work directly with me. I stay involved beyond the recommendations to help put them into practice.
