Summary
Alex Key is an AI engineer and product coach with 11 years of experience helping spatial and industrial software teams design and deploy agentic AI systems that automate complex spatial-data workflows. Based in Istanbul with a background in geospatial data science and human-computer interaction, he blends product fundamentals with hands-on engineering to deliver pragmatic, user-centered solutions. Currently building the AI agent at panoriq, he previously ran a 10-person agency that shipped software for clients like DATEV, Sono Motors and Charité Berlin, giving him rare end-to-end product and delivery experience. His early work in mobility and connected-car projects at BMW and Audi informs a practical systems perspective on real-world constraints.
