ABOUT
I’m Marat Kornyev — AI Enablement Lead. My title is Lead AI Specialist, and I work from Valencia, Spain.
I built the AI Competence Center. Before it existed, AI initiatives were running in six IT functions separately — delivery, architecture, business analysis, QA, development, DevOps. None of them could see the others. It’s one tracked portfolio now.
CURRENT WORK
Every AI initiative passes the same intake template: purpose, assumptions, risks, business value. Then it moves on one path — idea, pilot, production. Nothing skips a stage.
Five initiatives are live: AI-assisted requirements analysis, test-documentation generation, a regression-test prioritisation agent, a DevOps self-service assistant, and AIOps anomaly detection.
I connected AI agents to enterprise tools such as Jira and Confluence through MCP servers.
I built a library of 20 AI skills and around 50 prompts, shared across teams. I designed and ran role-based AI enablement for more than 50 employees. I developed five AI service offerings and an AI adoption strategy for the software development lifecycle.
Current
I wrote the AI policy my employer adopted, after working through the EU AI Act and GDPR.
Commercial proposal prep went from two weeks to one. Monthly capacity went from about 30 to 45–50. I’ve taken client AI opportunities from discovery through solution design to enterprise negotiation, and contributed to around $800K in AI-related deals.
Current
I also manage our vendor network and assign vendors to sales opportunities.
I led the work supporting the AWS Generative AI Competency and Anthropic partnership activities. That was work on the competency requirements.
With HR, I built AI functionality into the internal employee-discount portal. I led it and designed the functionality as the business analyst. The AI picks the most relevant discounts for each employee’s weekly email. It’s in pilot, with a company-wide audience.
I speak at webinars and events as an expert on AI adoption, AI in the software development lifecycle and broader AI topics.
METHOD
01
I write down what we’re assuming.
Assumptions that live in someone’s head are not assumptions, they’re surprises.
02
I’d rather state a number than a feeling.
If the business value can’t be stated, the initiative waits.
03
I don’t lead by org chart.
Most of what I’ve built ran across six functions I didn’t manage.
04
Governance isn’t the brake.
Without it nothing reaches production.
05
I say what I don’t know.
There’s a section on this page for it.
HISTORY
I joined as a Python Developer in February 2025, moved to Project Manager in May, and became Lead AI Specialist in July. As a developer I delivered a 12-week scope in 8 weeks and built REST API endpoints for a Polish bank’s web and mobile platform — Docker, SQL, DBeaver, Git.
AI & RPA Specialist and Data Analyst at a fertiliser manufacturer, part of Grupo Tervalis.
I automated the main call-centre workflows with a conversational bot, which enabled a roughly 50% cut in staffing requirements. I automated daily sales reporting and normalised GPS data for route optimisation; the lower fuel use contributed to a 23% reduction in operating costs. I designed a metrics database for chemical-emissions data supporting sustainability objectives, built Power BI reporting from national and internal sources, and built internal platforms for translating commercial materials and automating video-content creation. I developed AI tools for employee training and client interaction, researched new markets, and recommended satellite-office locations.

Founder & Project Manager.
I coordinated a 15-person cross-functional team, set priorities, workflows and delivery responsibilities, and was the main contact between clients and delivery teams, turning requirements into tasks. I managed website-development and digital-content projects end to end, and interviewed and onboarded hires.
