Manuel Maguga Darbinian

Manuel Maguga Darbinian

My name is Manuel, AI & product Specialist with business background. I started my AI & Graph experience back in Klarna during the company wide initiative to build the so-called "Best Knowledge Management System" powered by Neo4J and GenAI.

After Klarna I embarked in an exciting journey as a consultant, learning about organisation pain-points and advising on solutions and way forward.

After compounding all these learnings, I started off Spiintel as a side project. Currently I'm leading and supporting Boundless in developing cabyn.ai, a marketing tool aimed at bridging marketing data & analysis with content creation in order to enhance ranking and SEO.

A funny fact about myself: I did not know how to code 4 years ago, thanks to AI and own interest, I have been learning Python and best practices in infrastructure building. I'm now deep into tech and coding my way forward.

We work with a customer to understand their long term goals, and then our ‘programs’ and ‘workouts’ help break these down into achievable chunks. This delivers easy to understand, incremental gains. We cover AI Business Solutions, IT Support & Security and Cloud & AI platforms

I was previously CTO at Bam Boom Cloud, Microsoft's Partner of the Year for Dynamics 365 Business Central in 2019 and 2022, finalists in 2020/2021. We were acquired by Pax8 in 2023. I spent 2 years building out awesome new partner enablement programs for our partners at Pax8, a global tech marketplace.
