LangChain Ambassador (2024)
Angel Investor in YC-backed startups

Hai scaled AI Tinkerers Ottawa from 30 members to Canada's largest AI developer community (800+ members) in under a year. His model is now being replicated globally in 80+ cities. Ottawa Business Journal featured it as a "grassroots phenomenon" exclusively for elite AI builders.

Hai advises and invests in top-tier YC-backed AI startups on production-ready systems:

AI agents that actually ship to production
RAG systems (recognized expert in retrieval optimization)
Vector databases and pg-vector architecture
LLM-powered web scraping (pioneered this space in 2023)

As a LangChain Python contributor, he built one of the first viral projects combining LLMs with web scraping, establishing him as an early innovator in the field.

Fun fact: Hai didn't start with a technical degree - he studied Cinema & Economics and taught himself to code on the job. HIs unconventional path is exactly why he can break down complex AI concepts for developers from any background, technical or not.
