Turning data, technology, and strategy into innovative solutions for businesses worldwide

With over a decade of expertise in data strategy, digital transformation, and innovation leadership, I deliver tailored solutions to help businesses scale, optimize operations, and leverage advanced technologies for measurable success

About me

I'm Joffrey Baeyaert—an autistic innovation strategist, technologist, and researcher working at the intersection of data, ethics, and AI. With over a decade of experience spanning Google, New Work SE, and independent ventures, I’ve led transformations that saved €60M+, built high-impact data teams, and pioneered AI systems grounded in governance, inclusivity, and strategic foresight.

My work is driven by a sharp, systems-oriented mindset, shaped by neurodivergence and powered by a deep commitment to making technology equitable and actionable. I architect agentic systems, shape AI ethics frameworks like the Multi-Dimensional Ethics Framework (MDEF), and prototype tools that challenge conventional narratives—from emotion AI bias to federated digital presence.

I don’t believe in buzzwords—I build what’s next. My current focus blends AI strategy, inclusive governance, and creative technologies through my studio and research. Whether scaling LLM-based infrastructures, embedding neurodivergence into AI policy, or pushing for sustainable, transparent systems—I aim to make complexity useful and vision executable.

New Research

As an independent researcher and technology strategist, my work interrogates how AI systems encode, amplify, or erase neurodivergent and minorities expressions—and how we can redesign them to do better. Rooted in ethical theory and system-level design, I explore how cognitive diversity challenges the narrow behavioral templates embedded in today’s AI benchmarks, datasets, and governance frameworks.

My most recent publications examine the structural exclusion baked into emotion-recognition software, the regulatory blind spots that ignore neurodivergent needs, and the urgent case for inclusive accountability. I propose concrete reforms—like dynamic bias audits, cultural coverage indices, participatory governance boards, and provenance-aware pipelines—culminating in the Multi-Dimensional Ethics Framework (MDEF) for creative and cognitive AI.

This work bridges Kantian respect, Rawlsian equity, and pragmatic system design, offering a roadmap toward AI systems that don't merely reflect dominant norms, but actively protect the pluralism of human minds.
