Meet JF.
I host small tools for everyday work — parents, operators, and the jobs I already do.
Ingredion by day. I run industrial solutions across APAC and EMEA. Lab bench in 2009 — Innovation Manager now.
AI bot agents operator by night. Building Portkey Software Factory. Microapps for everyday heroes, from parents to workers.
Highlights
What to
know first.
Swipe the cards. Tap to turn one over.
01
Copilot Studio
Zero Cost AI Deployment
Enterprise AI chatbot on the infrastructure we already had. Copilot Studio, rolled out on tools the team already used — a small yearly run cost, not a six-figure consultancy.

Ten years
New product revenue growth
Lab, first industrial use, then scale across APAC with commercial and plants. I started on the bench; later I owned the regional sale.

JF’s Future Vision
01
Transition the world to sustainable materials.
Reverse-engineer bio-based plant material that can actually replace synthetic, fossil-based material — with AI.
02
AI for everyday workers.
Building Portkey — micro-apps for people who keep the world running. From parents to realtors.
03
Connecting the dots.
Then using AI to generate real value — a decision, a tool, a number you can stand behind.
For you
What AI
can do for you.
01
Never write a lab report by hand again.
I run an AI workflow for reports and research: the question, the named sources, a draft, then a human pass. Same desk as the lab. No new product name — it sits on the job you already have.

Never spend time answering questions that are in the database.
A chatbot on the data you already hold. Near-zero to build. About three figures a year to serve. Copilot Studio is the one I shipped.

Never guess a plant-to-customer price again.
Work in progress. Combining signals to generate a prediction.

Never leave a complex process as one blob.
Break it into manageable nodes. ScentLine walks a fragrance that way: segment a material, join it to a use, then decide.

Never wait for a classroom to learn a script.
Sit is a reading room: a letter, then a point of view. KataFast finishes katakana. HangulFast does the same for Hangul.

How the nodes
connect.
Fourteen named nodes. A line is a verb. Dull until you tap one — then it lights, and so do the nodes it links.

I stop the factory, the lab, and the walk from becoming the same job.

I use Super to ship a new app once, keep Portkey online, and leave live hosts alone.
