I solve the $2M problems that happen when brilliant technology meets confused humans.

Over the past decade, I've built AI platforms that generate $5M ARR, transformed failing products into 340% growth stories, and led 50,000+ user migrations with zero downtime. But here's what I've really learned: the biggest technology challenges aren't technical at all. They're psychological.

With my Master's in Social Data Science from Oxford, I've spent my career at the intersection where human behavior meets enterprise technology. I've worked across healthcare, finance, and global consulting at Accenture, consistently discovering that the same patterns emerge everywhere: smart people make predictable, irrational decisions about technology adoption.
I'm the product leader who gets called in when expensive AI implementations sit unused, when teams resist change despite obvious benefits, or when leadership needs someone who can translate between C-suite vision and developer reality. My "human first AI" framework is now adopted by 3 Fortune 500 companies because it works with human psychology rather than against it.
My superpower is turning complex technological chaos into revenue generating clarity. I've reduced patient wait times from 48 hours to 4 hours, cut compliance review time by 87%, and helped teams embrace AI tools they initially feared. I understand both the technical possibilities (Python, TensorFlow, cloud architecture) and the human realities (cognitive bias, change resistance, team dynamics) of making technology actually work.

Whether I'm speaking about AI manipulation psychology, the neuroscience of developer attention, or why brilliant teams make terrible technology decisions, I bring data driven insights combined with real world war stories from the trenches of enterprise transformation.
I
believe the future belongs to leaders who understand that every technology problem is fundamentally a people problem. And people problems are endlessly fascinating to solve.

Fikret Karajic is a multidisciplinary founder and creative operator with a 20-year journey across software, real estate, branding, and urban development. With a lifelong passion for software tech, his deep backstory involves launching viral products as a teenager seeing over 150,000+ monthly actives long before he knew what a “startup” was. That early obsession with thoughtful, user-centered design now drives Karascope, his latest venture: a product studio pioneering experience-driven software built with purpose, intention, and emotional intelligence. Positioned as a creative counter to lifeless enterprise platforms and AI tools that automate away human nuance, Karascope develops software that feels intuitive, personal, and alive. Several of its first products are actively engineered to address real challenges in St. Louis—proving that impactful technology still begins with passionate founders, not algorithms or committees.

Beyond tech, Fikret helped scale Oliver Properties from the ground up—joining as its first team member and serving in multi-disciplinary roles across marketing, leasing, construction, operations, and investment strategy. A decade later, he played a key role in growing the firm to $200M+ in assets. Today, he serves a key role in the revitalization of the Wash Ave district in Downtown St. Louis, where he drives strategic investment efforts across multifamily, retail, and office to drive the development of a new, more connected Wash Ave urban neighborhood. Whether building products or places, his mission remains the same: to design systems, stories, and spaces that empower people—and leave a lasting mark on St. Louis.
