I'm a freelance Data & AI consultant working with SMBs and mid-market companies across Europe. I started in data at Google through Teleperformance, automating reporting workflows that saved teams 10+ hours a week, before going independent. My focus is the work most consultants avoid: deciding when AI is the right answer, when a Python script is enough, and how to deploy LLM tools that actually get used after launch. Stack: Claude API, OpenAI, n8n, BigQuery, RAG. Based in Tbilisi, available for European clients. I write about pragmatic AI adoption at https://monteiro.consulting/highlights
