David
Before SabaiPilot, David spent years in the French army, then moved through a few different careers without finding real fulfillment. Somewhere in there, he taught himself trading and crypto — a first real taste of the pull technology had on him — before eventually moving to Southeast Asia to build something of his own.
Before building it, David worked as a receptionist in Laos, managing reservations by hand across five different booking platforms — living the exact chaos SabaiPilot now solves, not just hearing about it secondhand. He's selling it the same grounded way: walking into hostels and guesthouses himself, and building a small network of referral partners who know the owners better than any ad campaign could.
He's not a career software engineer. He learned to build by building — working directly with Claude Code as a technical partner rather than treating AI as a shortcut around understanding the work. Every feature in SabaiPilot exists because a real conversation with a real hostel owner surfaced it first.
CypherShip Labs is the same instinct, scaled up: don't build a tool and go looking for a sector to sell it to — go stand in a sector, understand it properly, and build the tool it's actually missing. PetraPilot, still taking shape, is starting the same way — through a conversation with someone who's spent fifteen years running a construction business, not a market report.
