A.D. Slaton is the founder of Stillriver Solutions, an AI engineering consultancy helping teams build effective workflows with coding agents. He advises startup founders and enterprise CTOs on AI enablement, teaching the Core 4 Framework—Model, Context, Prompt, and Tools—through hands-on workshops and advisory engagements.

A.D. spent 13+ years building mission-critical streaming platforms at Turner Broadcasting, CNN, and Warner Bros Discovery. His systems served millions during March Madness, NBA playoffs, and breaking news coverage—environments where failure wasn’t an option. That background shaped his engineering philosophy: build foundations that work under pressure, not demos that impress in ideal conditions.

In 2025, A.D. launched Stillriver to focus fully on AI enablement. He works daily in Claude Code, Gemini CLI, and agentic coding environments, maintaining his own AI workstation with local models. The Core 4 Framework emerged from this hands-on practice—a teachable mental model for understanding why AI tools work when they work.

A.D. is a Lehigh University alum, a member of the Henry County Chamber of Commerce, and co-founder of the Slaton Cares Foundation, a nonprofit focused on direct assistance to individuals in need. He believes the gap between AI hype and AI usefulness is a training problem, not a technology problem—and that foundational knowledge should be shared openly.

Based in Metro Atlanta, Georgia.

In a small backstreet of Tokyo lives a man named Aki, a 78-year-old former chef. Aki spent most of his life trying to perfectly cook the rice he buys from his friend Mato. He's been at it for 57 years now and still searches for ways to improve his cooking methods. There is probably not too much anybody else could tell Aki about cooking this specific type of rice.

When it comes to his process, Aki's understanding is unrivaled. After years of trial and glorious error, Marijn could be called the Aki of Domain-Driven Design, due to his extensive background in both programming and strategy. He uses this experience to show teams and organizations how to recognize and act on problems and opportunities in an autonomous, self-learning fashion.

Bringing an objective outsider’s view to the table, Marijn uses today's challenges of your organization to make your people truly aware of their environment.
Not by nudging and pushing them towards the final goal, but by offering them the tools to find a path on their own. Once on the road, positive feedback, mentoring, determination, and a positive vibe allow teams to try, to make mistakes, to investigate, and to learn.

That’s the mindset Marijn will add to your organization.

As a Microsoft Certified Trainer and consultant, I help organizations build a secure, efficient, and future‑ready Microsoft 365 environment. My work focuses on the introduction and rollout of Microsoft 365 Copilot, the implementation of AI‑driven productivity strategies, and the improvement of collaboration, processes, and structures across Microsoft cloud services.

For many years, I have supported organizations throughout the entire Modern Workplace lifecycle — from workshops and audits to technical implementation, security hardening, and governance measures, as well as training programs for administrators and end users. This includes Microsoft 365 Tenant Security Checks, Entra ID and Intune optimization, and the implementation of best‑practice security aligned with Microsoft, BSI, and CIS standards.

Another key area of my work is data and permissions management, compliance, and Microsoft Purview, covering data lifecycle, governance, and cloud‑wide transparency — all aimed at creating secure, stable, and manageable environments in Microsoft 365.

As a speaker and community enthusiast, I make complex topics like AI, security, governance, and modern collaboration accessible, practical, and directly applicable. My sessions demonstrate how organizations can design efficient hybrid and digital workplaces, ranging from Copilot adoption and Teams optimization to governance automation using Microsoft 365 built‑in capabilities and AI‑supported workflows.
