I ve been in this industry for almost 10 years. Most of the time, I ve just been writing code and completing projects for my boss. But now that I m middle-aged, I ve started to develop some ideas of my own and think about planning a path for myself.
Recently, my daily routine hasn t been very healthy. On workdays, I usually go to bed between midnight and 2 a.m., wake up at 7:40 in the morning, and then rely on weekends to catch up on sleep.
But over time, I started noticing some problems low mood, difficulty concentrating, daydreaming, slower reactions, and sometimes not wanting to go to work at all. I realized that sleep has a huge impact on me, yet I keep staying up late.
I m always falling short of getting 8 hours of sleep, so I want to build a tool to track my daily sleep duration and calculate my sleep debt and fatigue level.
Over the last few years, I ve worked on building enterprise systems, but more recently I ve been focused on using AI as leverage to build smarter, more connected everyday tools.
Quick background: I spent 8 years building AI systems for video content deep learning research with Sony Japan, then founding AI engineer at Vidyo.ai (now Quso.ai). After working with hundreds of creators, I kept seeing the same problem: one great video recorded, then 6+ hours spent turning it into clips, posts, carousels, and thumbnails using 5-6 different tools.
So I built Clipo one upload, 20 pieces of publish-ready content. Clips with virality scores, branded carousels, voice-aligned LinkedIn/Twitter posts, thumbnails, AI images, subtitles, and more. 12 products in one connected workflow.
We're launching on Product Hunt tomorrow (May 6). This is my first time building in public I've always been the behind-the-scenes engineer. Would love to connect with other makers here.
