John Oh is a Silicon Valley-based founder and engineering leader with 11 years building scalable consumer and developer-facing products, currently CEO and Co-founder of Lilys.ai, a brain-boosting summarizer with 400,000 users. He combines product-led growth instincts with deep technical execution—from leading generative AI and deep-learning teams to shipping core video editing and TTS features that doubled user growth at VREW. Equally comfortable in back-end systems and front-end performance optimization, he has reduced infrastructure costs dramatically through serverless design and optimized large-scale batch processing pipelines. An active open-source contributor, he enhanced remote debugging in the well-known Python console debugger pudb, adding reverse-remote capabilities that improve real-world debugging workflows. John’s track record shows a pragmatic focus on shipping measurable outcomes (user growth, cost savings, development velocity), and he brings uncommon cross-disciplinary fluency between ML research, full-stack engineering, and product leadership.
