Who we are

Who We Are

SalemWise Solutions is an AI consulting and automation firm built by engineers — not marketers. We help small and mid-sized businesses, as well as government agencies, apply AI in ways that actually work: clear strategy, clean execution, measurable results.

Our work is built on two pillars: technical mastery and real-world practicality. From custom chatbots and workflow automation to full-stack AI integration — we turn emerging tech into business results.

    Founder

    With over a decade of experience in software engineering and AI systems architecture — including roles at Google, Meta, Hopper, and Orum — Yermek brings elite technical depth and strategic vision. He specializes in generative AI, automation, LLMs, and practical AI for SMBs and agencies. Today, he acts as a fractional Chief AI Officer (CAIO) for clients, guiding their AI journey from prototype to deployment and beyond.

    “I created SalemWise because too many SMBs were being left behind by the AI wave. My goal is to change that — by making advanced tech accessible, affordable, and aligned with business outcomes.”

    Co-Founder

    Pavel is a senior software engineer with a rich track record building mobile and distributed systems for companies like Facebook, Stash, and The New York Times. He has led Android architecture overhauls, modularized monolithic codebases, and helped scale applications serving millions of users. From live video streaming to internal UI frameworks, Pavel knows what it takes to build robust, scalable systems — and now brings that firepower to SalemWise clients.

    “My passion is building things that work — reliably, elegantly, and at scale. At SalemWise, I’m bringing that same mindset to modern AI systems.”
