Christer Smith's Linkedin Analytics

I have a history of being very effective at solving (research, planning, and building) highly complex and challenging problems that most people/organizations have given up on solving or don’t know where to start. I do really well as a hands-on advisor, consultant, and contractor. This means PoC's, architecture, and general solution design across many domains. I’m great at researching and designing effective and cost-efficient new features for a product or platform, particularly with an AI focus. I prefer monthly and quarterly retainers or by-project fees so we can focus on the solution, but I’m flexible for hourly for a more open-ended solution exploration.
