The Man Behind the Machine: A Portrait of Methkal

By MethkalSunday, February 8, 2026

Continued from Page A1

In the rapidly shifting landscape of artificial intelligence, few practitioners manage to straddle the divide between deep technical expertise and practical business acumen. Methkal is one such figure — a software engineer whose passion for AI has led him to build products, consult for businesses, and publish a newsletter that reaches a growing community of technologists and entrepreneurs alike.

His journey began not in the boardroom but at the command line, writing code, debugging neural networks, and experimenting with the nascent frameworks that would later power a revolution. Today, that fascination has matured into a multi-faceted career spanning consultancy, product development, and thought leadership through his widely-read newsletter.

People don’t need another hype piece. They need to know what’s real, what works, and how to apply it.
