People · SMAPAS

Two founders.
One growing network.

Direct, honest, pragmatic, and highly competent. A small core team that does the work itself, extended by independent specialists we trust with our own name.

Founders
Allan Köster

Co-founder

Allan Köster

Strategy · Development · Compliance · Sales

15+ years in IT consulting and enterprise transformation, from large-scale system migrations to governance frameworks that hold up under audit. Still an active developer and AI architect, which means the person who scopes your project is the same one who can read the code that ships. Runs operations across Hamburg and Sydney, leads strategy, compliance, and the commercial side, and stays on every engagement from the first discovery call through to production handover.

Alex Blancke

Co-founder

Alex Blancke

AI Development · Agents · Prompt Engineering

AI developer, certified AI manager, and media designer with 15+ years in publishing, agencies, broadcasters, and cultural institutions, so he has sat on the client side of the table often enough to know where AI projects quietly fall apart. Specialised in prompt engineering, rapid prototyping, agentic systems, and workflow design. Builds the thing that gets tested in week two rather than the deck that describes it, then hardens it into a system your team can run without him in the room.

Network partners 01

Senior independents who join an engagement when it needs their depth. They work under the same standards and the same accountability we hold ourselves to, and you always know exactly who is doing what.

More partners joining soon. We grow the network one proven specialist at a time, so every name on this list is someone we would put in front of a client tomorrow. If that sounds like how you work, get in touch.

01The network model

Small core.
Deep bench.

Two founders lead strategy, architecture, and delivery on every project. Partners add depth where a project demands it. Nobody gets staffed to fill a seat, and you never pay for a layer that only forwards emails.
