Startup Operator · Investor · AI Trainer
Transform your team with AI engineering that actually ships.
With 25+ years building products across Asia—and having served as CTO, Chief Growth Officer, and Director of VC accelerators—I don't just teach theory. I help engineering, product, and leadership teams go from curious about AI to building with it through hands-on workshops, hackathons, and 1:1 executive training.
Featured Program
AI Engineering in Production
A 2-day immersive workshop with a 24-hour hackathon. Your team learns real AI engineering skills and ships a project before they leave.
Learn & Build Skills
Unpack existing skills, find internal leaders, master Claude Code and Cursor, build a skills library, and form hackathon teams.
24-Hour Hackathon
Teams build real projects using their new AI skills. Ship something meaningful in 24 hours with hands-on mentoring.
Ship & Celebrate
Wrap up projects, present to the group, team dinner, and announce the winners. Walk away with real momentum.
Real Results. Fast.
“I feel like a superhero with Claude.”
We don’t just talk about AI—we build with it. Within two hours of our immersive workshop, participants go from zero to deploying working applications like a complete MedBox sales forecasting tool, all without writing a single line of code. It fundamentally shifts how teams perceive their own capabilities.
You didn't just talk about AI, you showed how leaders can actually use it to think faster, decide better, and execute with clarity. That shift from information to real capability is what matters. This wasn't training for the sake of learning. This was capability building for scale.

From the team
What participants are saying
“Probably one of the best company investments in training I've personally ever made or at least delivered the highest ROI. A few die hard AI fans now! Including me.”
Founder & CGO, Jibble Group
“The brief session with Alex brought our QA team into the AI era. Things haven't been the same since… it wasn't cheap but the ROI was insane.”
Co-founder & CEO, Ling App
“As a copywriter, I was afraid AI would cost me my voice. By the end of the training I'd built a massive dashboard from 10 weeks of social data with one prompt, and shipped a landing page for PriyoShop. My personal assistants never get tired, never get creative blocks, and give brutally honest feedback — without charging a penny.”
Copywriter, PriyoShop
An Unconventional Journey
My story in tech started early. I sold my entire stock portfolio (a single $800 Apple holding) as a teenager to fund a train trip across China. That trip launched my career in Asia and led me to my wife. That Apple stock would be worth over $10 million today — but the life it bought was worth more.
Over the next 25 years, I was part of the $743M NYSE IPO at Oak Pacific Interactive (Renren.com), learned growth directly from Dave McClure at 500 Startups, and trained over 60 founders at Accelerating Asia.
Now, sitting at the intersection of technology, venture capital, and leadership, my mission is to give you and your team the superpowers of AI.
