Most AI consultants hand you a roadmap. I build what's on it.

I'm Tim Strobl. For over two decades I've worked at the point where business strategy meets technical execution: defining what to build, why it matters, and then making sure it actually ships.

That career took me through two acquisitions, Wirewax to Vimeo and BridgeU to Kaplan, and through global platforms delivering for Apple, Red Bull, Disney, BBC and ESPN. At Lab Services of America I built the software and operations for a Covid-19 testing business from nothing, scaling from zero to hundreds of staff across hundreds of school sites during a public health emergency.

What changed recently is what one person can do. I've gone deep into AI-native development, building production systems myself rather than specifying them for someone else. PaxRent, my property management platform, reached production in seven weeks with a live customer collecting rent, and has been running and growing continuously since. It handles double-entry trust accounting, 50-state compliance, payments, leasing, maintenance and reporting, with an approval-gated AI agent at its core, hardened through months of real operational use. I designed it, architected it, built it and onboarded the first client.

"Twenty-five years of knowing what good architecture looks like is precisely why I can move this fast. The tools compress the typing, not the judgment."

I also built it to compound. Usage data, behavioral signals and direct feedback feed a continuous loop in which the system surfaces its own improvement opportunities. Combined with periodic full code audits and each new generation of AI models, the platform gets measurably better the more it is used. Most software depreciates from the day it ships. This gets sharper.

The other thing I bring is judgment about process. I'm rigorous about workflow, automation and governance, and equally rigorous about not adding any you don't need. I've run programme governance across 49 countries and I've built a production platform as a team of one. Those need completely different amounts of structure, and most of the damage I see comes from applying the wrong one. Enough process to hold under pressure, never more than that.

That combination is what I bring to an engagement. Executive-level product judgment, and the ability to build the thing rather than write a document about it. It means shorter feedback loops, working prototypes instead of slide decks, and honest answers about what AI can and cannot do for your business right now.

Beyond consulting, I actively invest in ventures where I can provide strategic value. That dual role as advisor and investor means I approach every engagement with an owner's mindset, focused on sustainable value rather than deliverables.

I work across regulated and compliance-heavy environments (GDPR, CCPA, HIPAA, ISO 27001) and I've built and coached teams across 49 countries. Austrian, based in the US, equally at home in English or German.
