Who Is Christian Strevel? Meet the Architect of Flow

What do you get when you mix a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt, a tech visionary, and a creative storyteller? You get me — Christian Strevel.

Some people know me as the founder of Intellekt, others as the head of MD Self Defense Academy, and some as the guy generating deepfake comedy, manga-style comics, or cinematic AI art. But who I am goes deeper than job titles or skills. I live at the intersection of discipline, creativity, strategy, and empathy — and I’m just getting started.


🧠 The Strategist

I build systems — not just software, but systems for people. My work spans AI, cloud platforms, and digital ecosystems. From launching a mobile app for wellness coaches to building websites that blend functionality with emotion, I move with structure and vision.

As the founder of Intellekt, I specialize in crafting digital solutions that solve real-world problems. Think: enterprise modernization, Azure-powered cognitive services, and next-gen customer experiences.


🥋 The Warrior

Discipline runs deep. I’m a black belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and lead MD Self Defense, where I help people — from executives to kids — unlock their strength, confidence, and awareness. I’ve launched new branches, created corporate self-defense programs, and built a tight-knit community fueled by martial values and mutual respect.

I believe physical and mental resilience go hand in hand. That’s why I’ve taken on a personal challenge to transform my body and mindset over the next six months — training hard, staying clean, and living fully.


🤖 The Technologist

AI isn’t the future — it’s my toolset today. I’ve been working with generative AI long before it was trending. From photorealistic self-portraits and anime-inspired team comics to accessibility tools powered by Azure Cognitive Services, I use AI to build, imagine, and empower.

You might know me as TOK — my AI alter ego, starring in fashion shoots, action films, and cheeky mugshots. But behind the fun is deep expertise in prompt engineering, neural network integration, and tech stack execution.


🎨 The Creative

Creativity is my release — and sometimes, my weapon. I produce content across formats: websites, comics, cinematic reels, branding, and more. I’ve made Intellekt’s devs the stars of corporate manga. I’ve designed Halloween campaigns that hit like movie trailers. I don’t just ship content — I craft experiences.

My projects blur the lines between tech, storytelling, and culture. Whether I’m building a photobook, launching a new site, or dreaming up a Ghibli-style poster, I’m always chasing one thing: resonance.


💙 The Human

Life hasn’t been easy. But I’m still here — showing up, growing stronger, and choosing to build. My family is my center. My wife, Chivis, is my north star, and my son, Kevin, keeps me grounded and motivated. We’ve faced tough battles — and come through with more love, more purpose, and more fight.

Every project I take on — whether in tech, martial arts, or creative spaces — is rooted in a single principle: build things that matter.


Let’s Connect

Whether you’re here to collaborate, train, build, or just get inspired — welcome. Now that you know who I am, the only question left is:

What can we build together?
