Dave Ebbelaar

I build AI systems for clients and for my own businesses. At Datalumina, I lead our AI projects and teach developers how to take their applications from prototype to production. I share the engineering decisions behind that work, including how I use AI coding agents and how I decide whether their code will hold up in a real application. Along the way: - 10M+ views across YouTube, LinkedIn, and courses - Helped 1M+ developers get started with AI - Building and scaling a 7-figure AI company - Delivered 50+ custom B2B AI solutions - Consulted for TimescaleDB, ClickUp, and n8n - Helped 500+ developers launch freelance careers - BSc + MSc in Artificial Intelligence (VU Amsterdam) I also share what I've learned about finding clients and scoping paid projects for developers who want to work independently. Follow along for practical AI engineering and what I'm learning as I build Datalumina.
