Dr. Pirjo Elbrecht
PhD engineer, AI systems builder, and founder. Building Mizzion with Claude Code. 15+ years specifying complex systems across manufacturing, ERP, and digital production.
About
PhD in Information & Communication Technology, Tallinn University of Technology (TalTech). 18+ years of experience across Europe and Asia, translating complex systems into scalable, real-world execution. Currently at Hilding Anders leading digital transformation across multiple production sites. Co-founder of Mizzion — an AI-driven platform for trail running, health, and performance.
How I work with AI
I use Claude Code daily to build Mizzion. My PhD was about encoding behavioural rules precisely enough that a machine could reconstruct a garment pattern from a 3D body scan — specification work that taught me the difference between a useful instruction and a useless one lives entirely in precision of language. The same discipline runs through every system I have built: robot storage specifications, API integration architectures, MTM production systems.
