About Niklas Büllesbach

Hey, I'm Niklas - I'm currently building state-of-the-art search and AI products for LeanIX, the market-leading Enterprise Architecture Management platform. Before that, I built search systems and led an internal GenAI incubator for Europe’s biggest media conglomerate.

I'm based in the Cologne/Bonn area in Germany, but I'm originally from the beautiful state of Indiana, USA. I have an academic background in psychology and have been involved in the development of data products for almost a decade both as an external consultant and product manager. Additionally, I give occasional guest lectures on product management, artificial intelligence and information retrieval.

I started this blog because I am a big believer in openly and altruistically sharing knowledge. You will not find a mailing list on this website, nor will you find me trying to sell you something or pursue a commercial agenda.

In my spare time I love reading, playing video & board games and watching Star Wars for the 112th time. I'm a huge history buff (especially of American history) and a sensation seeker with a special soft spot for roller coasters. But most of all I love spending time with my wonderful wife and my three children, who make every breath worthwhile.

I'm an extremely curious person and am always thrilled to meet new people and listen to their story. You can reach me via Linkedin.
