I'm timezone-flexible for European companies. I work standard hours aligned with: UK (GMT): 9 AM - 6 PM GMT. Central Europe (CET): 10 AM - 7 PM CET (9 AM - 6 PM GMT). Summer time (CEST): 9 AM - 6 PM CEST (8 AM - 5 PM GMT). I can adjust working hours for specific projects and typically respond within 24-48 hours to accommodate different EU timezones.

Major European cities command different rates: London (UK): $940–$1,610/day (premium market). Berlin/Munich (Germany): $800–$1,740/day. Paris (France): $800–$1,880/day.

European AI consultant rates are typically 20-30% lower than US rates for similar expertise. US rates range from $800–$2,010/day+, while European rates range from $670–$1,610/day. However, European consultants often provide excellent value due to: Strong technical education (European universities excel in AI/ML), Multilingual capabilities (serving multiple EU markets), GDPR expertise (familiar with EU regulations), and Timezone advantages (working hours aligned with EU companies).
I primarily work in English, which is the standard for tech consulting across Europe. Most European tech companies operate in English for technical documentation, code, and communication. However, I'm comfortable working with teams that speak: Italian (native), English (fluent), and can understand basic communication in French, Spanish, and German. Technical work (code, documentation, specifications) is typically done in English regardless of client location.
