Background

About Cj Vana

I build software that solves real operational problems for live event professionals. As a National Production Manager and Audio/Systems Engineer at Projection, I lead 50+ person crews delivering large-scale corporate events—and kept watching teams waste hours recreating documentation from scratch. When I realized this was a software problem, not a process problem, I leveraged AI-assisted development tools to turn my domain expertise into working software. The result: SoundDocs, built in 2 weeks using modern AI development tools. Two months after launch: 600+ active users replacing spreadsheets and slide decks with collaborative, print-ready documentation. Developed what appears to be the first browser-native dual transfer function FFT for pro audio (magnitude, phase, impulse response, coherence)—plus an ML model that interprets room acoustics and recommends system tuning automatically. What I Do: • Build vertical SaaS products using AI-assisted development • Bridge deep domain expertise with modern product frameworks and architecture • Lead cross-functional teams from concept through scaled execution • Turn tribal knowledge into scalable tools that people actually use My Approach: Product-first mindset + AI-powered implementation. I understand system architecture, user flows, and technical constraints—then use AI tools to ship production-grade software without writing every line of code myself. Domain Expertise: Live event production, AV systems design, RF coordination, large-scale project management, stakeholder communication. I'm passionate about using AI development tools to democratize software creation—enabling domain experts to build solutions the market actually needs. Open to conversations about product leadership, technical solutions architecture, and vertical SaaS opportunities in event tech, audio/visual, and operations tooling. Try SoundDocs: sounddocs.org
