I am James Westover, founder of Westover Labs. I spent a decade building production systems at Uber, HERE, and Postmates; now I build sovereign AI infrastructure and agent-driven delivery systems from Berlin. Depending on what you need, I am here to fund the platform, join the right company as principal/CTO-caliber talent, or help fix the architecture you already have.
The same proof can support three different conversations. Investors fund the repeatable sovereign infrastructure platform. Hiring leaders bring in the principal engineer or CTO-caliber operator. Customers engage Westover Labs to de-risk a system that already matters.
Westover Labs is productizing a hand-delivered migration and AI-infrastructure practice into a repeatable control plane: discover the current stack, place workloads under the right jurisdiction, run local or on-device inference where it matters, and leave auditable infrastructure behind.
Read the investor laneThis is not a generic senior engineer funnel. The fit is architecture ownership, platform migrations, geospatial and data systems, AI infrastructure, and teams that need someone who can set direction and still ship.
Review James's portfolioIf your AI stack shipped fast and now feels fragile, start with a focused review. If the problem is bigger, Westover Labs can migrate, harden, document, and hand off infrastructure your team owns.

Westover Labs sells concrete outcomes: senior code audits, EU-sovereign migrations, managed hosting, and fractional principal judgment. Pricing and engagement detail live at westover.expert.
The platform thesis is a sovereign control plane and SMB migration layer for European businesses that need AI adoption, cost control, and jurisdictional clarity without enterprise-only tooling.
Westover Labs already runs the machinery: local models, cloud routes, telemetry, agent workers, static sites, apps, and infrastructure-as-code. The best demo is the operating system behind the company.
The resume already brings traffic. The Web Summit version should turn that attention into the right conversation by making the infrastructure tradeoff visible: run a tailored pitch locally on Shockwave, or explicitly opt into a cloud polish pass.
Local sovereign mode: Ollama-backed generation on Westover-controlled hardware for privacy, cost control, and dogfood credibility.
Best for: sensitive context, buyer trust, and showing that the sovereignty thesis is real infrastructure.Explicit opt-in cloud route: a one-shot OpenRouter-style pass for public/business-facing polish when model quality or latency matters more than locality.
Best for: investor copy, public resumes, and high-polish outreach. Never spend Claude Max/OAuth allowance on anonymous traffic.Email a two-sentence description of what you want: fund, hire, or engage. I will tell you quickly which path fits.
