Technical Architect. Marketer. Founder. Same person, twenty-five years apart.
Ian Ho has been building things on the internet since before most people had it at home — from eBay's first Technical Architect to a decade running performance marketing, now building AI security products from Bangkok.
Ian Ho has been building things on the internet since before most people had it at home. He started as an engineer at eBay — their first Technical Architect — and spent the next twenty-five years crossing back and forth between technology and marketing until the distinction stopped mattering.
The pattern: build something, understand how growth works, build something else. eBay. Wynn Resorts. A decade running a performance marketing company. Now building AI security products and helping local businesses get found by the AI engines replacing search.
He works at the intersection of systems thinking and human psychology. The engineer builds things that scale. The marketer makes sure everyone cares. Malaysia born, raised and educated in Australia, nearly three decades working in the US, now based in Bangkok.
The pattern: build something, understand how growth works, build something else.
