China Tech Source

About

Your product development co-pilot for smart product sourcing from China.

My Story

I've spent over a decade in the smart product and IoT industry — working with world-class brands to bring connected consumer electronics from concept to production. I've led product commercialization across multiple markets, managing the full lifecycle from chipset selection and technical architecture to factory coordination and production readiness.

What I learned along the way: the biggest risk in building smart products isn't the factory — it's the decisions you make before you ever talk to one. Choosing the wrong platform, underestimating cloud and software costs, picking a supplier based on a badge rather than capability — these mistakes compound fast.

That's why I do what I do now. I work with brands to de-risk the technical side of their product journey — so they can focus on what they do best: understanding their market and their customer.

How I'm Different

Not another sourcing agent. A product development co-pilot.

Traditional Sourcing Agent

  • Sourcing middleman — finds factories
  • No understanding of firmware or cloud
  • Generic sourcing across all industries
  • Looks at China from the outside

China Tech Source

  • Technical co-pilot — helps you make informed decisions
  • Full stack coverage — hardware, firmware, and cloud
  • Specialized in smart consumer electronics
  • Comes from inside the industry

My Philosophy

Building a smart product involves choices that go far beyond the hardware. Platform selection, cloud architecture, ongoing software costs, data ownership — these decisions shape your product for years. Yet most brands make them without the full picture, often committing to a technology path before they understand the trade-offs.

My role isn't to push you toward any particular solution. It's to make sure you see the complete cost and capability landscape — across hardware, firmware, and cloud — so you can choose with confidence.
