Aiden ten Velden

AI & Automation Consultant

I help businesses automate the repetitive work that quietly drains their hours. I bring the strategy and the ideas, then work alongside your team, mentoring your developers to build efficient, AI-driven systems that last.

What I do

Build, ship, and consult on the things businesses are figuring out right now.

  • Production AI agents

    Agents that ship real work: tool use, memory, evaluation loops, guardrails. Built to run unattended, not to demo well.

  • Coding with AI

    Embedding Claude, Cursor, and modern AI workflows into engineering teams so you ship multiples faster, without compromising code quality or review discipline.

  • Full-stack engineering

    TypeScript, React, Next, Astro, Node, Postgres. End-to-end ownership from schema to UI to deploy pipeline.

  • Databases & data infrastructure

    Schema design, migrations that don’t break prod, query performance tuning, vector stores for retrieval. Postgres, SQLite, Pinecone, pgvector.

  • Servers & secure infrastructure

    Provision, harden, and maintain Linux servers and cloud infra to current SOC 2 security standards. Observability, zero-downtime deploys, automated backups, incident response.

  • AI strategy for business

    For teams figuring out where AI fits and where it doesn’t. From audit and roadmap through to first production rollout, measured in outcomes, not pilots.

About

I'm Aiden ten Velden. I build AI systems that survive contact with real users, real load, and real audits.

Years of building complex software end-to-end: databases, backends, frontends, and the servers they all run on. These days most of that work has AI threaded through it: production agents, retrieval pipelines, internal tools that quietly take work off people's plates.

I treat infrastructure the same way I treat code: provisioned, hardened, and maintained to current SOC 2 standards. Observability, automated backups, zero-downtime deploys, the kind of foundation that lets you sleep when you're on call.

On the consulting side I work with businesses figuring out where AI actually fits, and where it doesn't. The goal isn't slideware. It's systems that ship and keep shipping.

Got an idea, a half-built prototype, or just a question? Let's talk.
