I am the Product Lead at Encord, an $50mAI infrastructure startup that helps companies build better models through superior visual data management.

My goal is to help build a positive, human-based AI future.

I specialize in bridging technical complexity with user needs, translating challenges around data curation, annotation, and model evaluation into intuitive product experiences that solve real customer problems. I was Encord's first product manager and have been with the company since 2022.

Outside of work, I am interested in the climate, green transition, philosophy, geopoltics, and fiction.

I write about my journey as a product leader and the challenges I face. I also write about the environment, green transition, and sustainability. more to come.

I sometimes play around with side projects, various levels of complexity. Mostly for fun and learning. Lately, a lot faster with help of AI. I will soon share some of my projects here.

Best place to find me is on LinkedIn. Or just send me an email at nikolaj.buhl at hotmail.com.
