Leading Embedded Systems Experts

I'm Jamin Mahmood-Wiebe, co-founder and Managing Director of IJONIS, an AI agency in Hamburg, Germany. We build & integrate AI-powered solutions for businesses - not slide decks, not strategy papers, but working software that ships to production. My background is unusual for someone running an AI agency. I started in corporate analytics at Shell, moved into entrepreneurship, and taught myself to code along the way. That combination - business operations, startup chaos, and engineering - shapes everything we build. Before AI, I ran businesses. I co-founded a Japanese rice sandwich concept called Sando & Ichi that won the German Gastro Startup Award 2018 and was acquired by Germany's third-largest cafe chain. I co-founded Vulvani, an online education platform for women's health that now serves tens of thousands of monthly visitors and was recognized as Kreativ- und Kulturpiloten by the German federal government. I built and ran a 7-figure international e-commerce operation selling workwear across Amazon and our own shops. In 2024, I pivoted IJONIS fully into AI. Today we've shipped four products to market: VellumSign (AI-powered interactive web proposals), FlatMagic (Amazon listing automation), Parq (AI-powered sales training), and GEO Lint, the first open-source linter for Generative Engine Optimization - helping content rank not just in Google, but in ChatGPT, Perplexity, and AI Overviews. My technical expertise spans full-stack development, AI systems architecture, multi-agent orchestration, and growth automation. I work daily with Claude, building agentic workflows that handle everything from prospect research to content creation to outreach. Topics I can speak to with depth: AI adoption for businesses, generative engine optimization (GEO), building AI-powered products as a non-traditional engineer, e-commerce automation, the German Mittelstand's AI readiness gap, and what it actually takes to ship AI solutions beyond the prototype stage. I speak German (native) and English (fluent). Based in Hamburg, available for remote interviews across time zones.

As a software engineer at Featured, I focus on utilizing LLMs and other techniques to ensure Featured runs as smoothly as possible. I use novel applications of LLMs and other generative AIs to automate routine business operations.

I build software that people use every day and enjoy working with. At BeZoned, I led the team that created a Virtual Office inside Microsoft Teams. The product helps real teams coordinate work and interact without the friction that comes with remote communication — you can see who’s available, join conversations without scheduling, and stay focused with fewer context switches. This has helped teams work together more smoothly even when they are spread across different locations. My approach to engineering is practical. I work directly with teams to turn ideas into working features, test assumptions early, and focus on real user needs rather than abstractions. I stay up to date with advances in AI and use that knowledge where it adds value, whether that’s automating routine work inside a product or improving internal tools. Keeping aware of new models and capabilities lets me make informed decisions about where and how to apply them. I enjoy solving real problems and helping teams build good products. I mentor engineers, refine development practices, and work with designers and stakeholders to make sure what we build works well for the people who use it.
