My name is Ryan, and I wear a few hats that probably don't belong together on paper. By day, I'm a medevac pilot flying fixed-wing operations across British Columbia. By night (and honestly most mornings too) I'm building AI-powered businesses with my wife Dee. Together, we run two companies: Solnest Stays - a boutique short-term rental co-hosting company. We partner with property owners to design, optimize, and operate STR properties across BC. Not the "we'll slap your place on Airbnb" kind. We're talking full hospitality experiences, thoughtful design, and AI-leveraged operations that actually move the needle on revenue. Solnest AI - where we teach STR hosts, property managers, and business owners how to build real AI systems. Not chatbot demos. Actual automations, agents, and workflows that save time and make money. My background is in computer science, math, and data analysis, which means I approach everything like a systems problem. If something can be automated, I want to know why it hasn't been yet. What pulled me here is simple. I'm always looking for sharp people who are doing interesting things, and communities like this tend to have a higher concentration of them. Looking forward to connecting with you all.
