Hi 👋, I’m Kanan.

I create cutting-edge technologies that empower travel and lifestyle brands.

backstory

Always obsessed

For over 20 years, I've been creating the impossible. From Airbnb and Virgin, to Amazon and more — challenging the status quo through innovation drives me. Now, that same drive fuels my work setting a new and higher standard in STR technology.

I create unique technologies for Airbnb hosts, short term rentals, multifamily real estate, and e-com — and develop platforms unlike any seen before.

MULTIFAMILY STR+LTR PMS

Absolutely everything automated. AI. Cleaning. Apps. Integrations without manual interventions. Self-service guest needs. Automated payouts. It does everything.

 
NIIDO POWERED BY AIRBNB

The first Airbnb-Friendly company

Airbnb’s Niido was the first Airbnb-Friendly company in the world, and whose DNA launched several notable iterations of the emergent technology.

 

My passion is creating operational systems… and automating them through technology.

WHOLE FOODS AND AMAZON

Creating technologies to scale uniqueness

Whole Foods is known for having a unique design aesthetic in each location, but when Amazon took over they hired me to answer the question: Can uniqueness be programmed?

 

Design is equally important as functionality.

And I always have an opinion on both.

NATIIVO BY AIRBNB

The world’s first Airbnb-friendly condo buildings

The first condo buildings with Airbnb’s name on the door — in Miami and Austin.

 

I love taking on new industries and creating things that have never been done before.

VIRGIN VOYAGES

Launching a tech-powered cruise line for Virgin and Richard Branson

Richard Branson got a bunch of non-cruise people to create a tech-powered cruise line with Virgin’s name on it.
