Hi, I'm

Brian H.C. Lai

Engineer-founder who turns ambitious ideas into working software (and the occasional existential crisis into a roadmap).

I’m Brian Lai — a product-minded engineer with a bias toward shipping, systems thinking, and building things that actually run in production. I live at the intersection of engineering and entrepreneurship: designing architectures, wrangling complexity into clarity, and turning half-baked concepts into real products with real users. I like pragmatic solutions, thoughtful craftsmanship, and just enough chaos to keep things interesting.
