AI & data strategy, architecture, and execution for leadership teams. We build intelligence that holds up where it matters — in front of a board, an auditor, and a regulator.
Find the high-leverage use cases, prioritize a roadmap, and build the business case your board will actually back.
Modern data platforms — warehouses, lakehouses, pipelines — designed for analytics and ML at real scale.
Models and dashboards put into production: governed, explainable, and driving measurable decisions.
Newstate is new. The record behind it is not.
We've spent careers building inside the constraints — banking, capital markets, digital assets, health data — and treating them as design inputs, not afterthoughts.
Years inside a tier-1 bank — model risk, treasury, capital markets. Production ML that desks and risk teams trust.
Hands-on with regulated crypto under MiCA, aligning compliance, legal, IT and capital markets around a working model.
Led AI-ethics workshops for bank leadership ahead of EU AI Act compliance. Explainability and audit from day one.
GDPR-grade data handling. Your data stays inside your walls — on-prem or private cloud when it can't leave.
Workshops with your stakeholders to map opportunities, data, and constraints.
A pragmatic roadmap with clear architecture, costs, and success metrics.
Embedded execution alongside your team until value is in production.
Newstate is led by Jakub Mertus — a data and AI leader whose work runs in production at one of the region's largest banks: real-time ML in mobile banking, a machine-learning fund strategy, and treasury risk models behind nine-figure decisions.
The path is unusual. Particle physics and cosmology, then a master's in data science with a thesis on deep reinforcement learning for trading. The result is rare range — the depth to build the models, and the judgement to know which ones are worth building.
A 30-minute call to understand your goals and see if we're a fit. No pitch deck.
