I spent a decade in sales and marketing, but I always wanted to build equity for myself.
No engineering background. Learned some Python from books and Codecademy. Then AI tools got good enough that I could ship real products without a team.
Currently building AnyGo — a Chrome extension that finds cheaper Agoda hotel prices by searching 39 countries simultaneously. I discovered the idea by accident when a forgotten VPN connection showed me a hotel HKD 1,000 cheaper than what I'd been seeing.
I think the best life is one you design yourself. That means building things you own, solving problems you care about, and creating genuine value for people along the way. AnyGo helps travellers keep more money in their pocket — more money means more trips, more experiences, more freedom. That's a mission I can get behind.
Building in public at @jlhes9 on X.
