i spent a decade as a hardware technical program manager at Apple and Meta, leading cross-functional teams shipping consumer hardware from prototype to mass production. i've run programs across mechanical engineering, electrical, firmware, supply chain, and factory ops in the USA, China, Taiwan, and Vietnam.
now i build AI systems that operate in the physical world. i run a 5-property short-term rental business and use it as a live testbed for the autonomous agents and infrastructure i'm developing. i also built a home AI factory for local inference, fine-tuning, and token generation.
i'm self-taught on the software side. learned to code by building the systems i needed. if it doesn't exist, i'll build it.
injester · ai data ingestion platform. structured extraction at scale. won first place at the Nebius Build SF hackathon and demoed at NVIDIA GTC 2026.
agent web protocol · open spec for agent-to-service discovery on the web. think DNS but for AI agents.
elias · autonomous AI assistant on OpenClaw. 7 specialized agents, 5 messaging channels, 27 knowledge schemas, persistent memory, home inference cluster. runs 24/7.
turnkeyhost.ai · self-hosted property management system for short-term rentals. next.js, prisma, postgresql. replaced saas tools i was paying too much for.
stayikigai · direct booking site for my rental and real estate portfolio.
i'm a systems and industrial engineer by training. 
along the way i've managed factory buildouts across Asia (Shanghai, Shenzhen, Chengdu, Zhengzhou, Tangshan, Nanjing, Hanoi, Taipei) and prototype facilities in the USA, led cross-functional teams across 4+ time zones, and shipped products that millions of people use. i like hard problems that sit at the intersection of hardware, software, and operations.
outside of tech i built a short-term rental business from zero and handle my own property operations.
