Brian is a skilled data professional with a strong academic background. During his career, he has always dealt with data in some way or the other. With a degree in Pharmaceutical Sciences (Utrecht University), he originally focused on developing drug discovery tools but shifted his focus to data analytics.

During his PhD at KU Leuven Brian developed 3D-printed chips that allowed to grow of stem cells on a chip, that could further be analyzed using state-of-the-art sequencing tools. He had to integrate many different types of data (microscopy images, genetic sequencing, etc.) to be able to validate the results. He often used scripting tools (R, Python) to develop and integrate these pipelines.

He always had an affinity with information technology and he decided to follow his passion for data with a focus on data engineering. Brian worked on multiple projects since then with Immoweb, Accenture, and Orange Business to grow further in data engineering. He implemented orchestration tools for ELT client workflows and co-developed a prediction application.

Brian has experience in Microsoft Azure, extensive expertise in open-source tooling (Python, R, Airflow, Kubernetes, etc.), and is a (AWS) certified cloud practitioner.

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.

Krystine Kellogg is a relationship educator, podcast host, and community builder specializing in Female-Led Relationships (FLR) grounded in communication, consent, and emotional health. She is the host of Krystine’s FLR Podcast, where she has spent years helping women, men, and couples understand what female leadership in relationships actually looks like—beyond stereotypes, sensationalism, and misinformation.

Krystine’s work focuses on dismantling common myths surrounding FLR, including the belief that these dynamics are inherently sexual, extreme, or rooted in male weakness. Instead, she teaches FLR as a conscious relationship structure—one built on honesty, clarity of roles, mutual respect, and intentional decision-making. Her audience includes couples in their 20s through their 70s who are navigating real-world marriages, careers, parenting, and long-term partnership.

She is the creator of FLRSkool, a course-based educational community on the Skool platform, where couples engage in structured learning and guided discussions around healthy power dynamics, ethical leadership, and sustainable intimacy. Through her podcast, courses, and community, Krystine regularly receives messages from couples crediting her work with improving communication, reducing resentment, and in many cases, saving their marriages.

Krystine’s approach is sex-positive, adult-aware, and educational—never gratuitous or pornographic. She is currently developing a book on Female-Led Relationships and expanding into public speaking through workshops, breakout sessions, panels, and online conferences focused on healthy relationships, ethical power exchange, and real-world partnership.
