Gavriel (Gabriel) Wayenberg

Sensory‑AI • Decisional Computing • Music/Systems Founder & CEO, Ajinomatrix | Industrial Research collaborator, ULB IRIDIA & CODE | EPFL‑minded builder

I design systems where taste, smell, and decision‑making become computable—and I ship them.

⚡ Sharing — Advanced Profile (no‑stealth)

I operate at the junction of sensory science and decision systems. At Ajinomatrix, I’m building tools that help food & F&F teams make faster, better calls—without requiring GC‑MS (gas chromatography) to start. The stack covers TasteTuner (concept routes & screening), Recipe Analyzer (formulation assists), and ABED/BioSphere (Always Be Eating Data: closing the loop from production → tasting → learning).

I’m a long‑time collaborator with ULB’s IRIDIA & CODE groups around bio‑inspired / decisional computing. Earlier, I cut my teeth in the first wave of the web (Nirvanet/CyberTheatre), then kept one foot in practical engineering (billing stacks, ops tooling) and the other in art‑tech (music as interface research). Today, I convert those threads into shippable pilots, clear KPIs, and production paths.

What I’m excellent at

Turning ambiguous sensory problems into data‑light pilots (4–6 weeks, fixed KPIs).
Building ingestion standards and tiny UIs that frontline teams actually use.
Explaining complex pipelines simply, so budget owners can say “yes.”

Signature work (current)

Ajinomatrix TasteTuner/Recipe Analyzer — data‑light NPD; panel‑lite validation; exportable scorecards.
AJX BioSphere / ABED — growth→flavor learning loops; “Gourmet Score” modeling for cultivation devices & kitchens.
BlackSwan Precog (independent) — public‑data exploration of anomalous events and collective signal detection. (Independent research; no institutional affiliation claims.)
Arpenter (transformer quadcopter concept) — modular, field‑serviceable UAV architecture; pilot templates & regulatory roadmaps (EU/US).

Now forming: paid pilots in EU/JP/US; university collaborations; device/OEM bundles; advisor roles.

📨 Off the Record Voice

I build decision frameworks where others see noise. In Food & F&F, that means digitizing taste & smell just enough to reduce iteration cycles—and doing it with practical, low‑friction starts. I prefer 2‑week micro‑sprints that prove value, then scale to 4–6 week pilots with three KPIs the CFO can agree on. My background spans ULB’s decisional computing ecosystem and hands‑on engineering, so I’m comfortable jumping between R&D language and product delivery. If your team needs to make the next product call faster—with less guessing—let’s set up a pilot and measure it.

As an AI researcher at ULB's IRIDIA and CODE labs (Free UniversityBrussels Polytechnics Faculty), I specialize in bio-inspired decisional computing—swarm algorithms that anticipate chaos, from urban resilience to global foresight. EPFL alumni ('Master of Technology dropout), I've architected adaptive systems that turn black swans into symphonies of prediction. Stealth collaborator basing work on Dr. Roger Nelson at Princeton's Global Consciousness Project, my blackswanprecog.org probes anomalous precognition: modeling collective mind shifts via GCP's worldwide RNG networks. This fuses with my mil-grade roots—co-elaborating Israel's inaugural "Time Police" unit (temporal ops/intel framework), prepped for US Presidential briefings, securing the pulse of real-time decision horizons. But code needs soul: As Namasthay (Gavriel Wayenberg), my (as of Oct 25) 41-album prog odyssey (Neshama dropping 2025) channels Sephardi modals and baritone rawness into Web 5.0 soundscapes—Emo-Spontaneity as telepathic interfaces. From Ajinomatrix's gastronomy-AI fusions to Ner Neshama's October 7 memorial (submixed w/ Air & K&D), I build bridges where AI hums with human eternity. Seeking: Neuralink-adjacent collabs, EIT funding for precog-prog hybrids. Let's compute consciousness.

🎯 How I work

Time‑boxed: 1‑week diagnostic → 2‑week micro‑sprint → 4–6 week pilot.
Measurable: 3 KPIs (iteration reduction, time‑to‑decision, top‑2‑box lift).
Coexistent: augment panels/GC‑MS/vendors; never rip‑and‑replace on day one.
