About Me

Let's start out by saying if you've not tried to capture yourself in this way (some sort of "about me" page), you should try it. It's harder than it looks, but it's a fun way to get to know yourself and your thoughts.

My name is Nikolaj Buhl, and I'm a Product Lead at Encord based out of London. At Encord I lead the development of Encord's core platform, focusing on enhancing data curation, annotation, and AI model evaluation. My work sits at the intersection of technology, customers, and business, helping sophisticated teams build better AI systems.

With a Master's in Management from London Business School and Bsc from Copenhagen Business School, I bring both technical understanding and strategic thinking to product development. Prior to product, I dreamed of being a diplomat and so I found myself working at the Danish Embassy in Beijing, helping Danish businesses navigate the Chinese market.

I'm passionate about the climate, AI, climbing, and fiction. So, when I'm not thinking about product strategy, you'll find me writing about these topics or exploring new technologies. Currently, I am playing with smaller AI agents, cursor, and Raspberry Pi.

A poem I think about often

“Remember, remember, this is now, and now, and now. Live it, feel it, cling to it. I want to become acutely aware of all I've taken for granted.” - Sylvia Plath
