Hi 👋, I’m Kanan.
I create cutting-edge technologies that empower travel and lifestyle brands.
backstoryAlways obsessed
For over 20 years, I've been creating the impossible. From Airbnb, Virgin, Amazon, and Whole Foods — challenging the status quo through innovation drives me. Now, that same drive fuels my work with OHAI by Orion Haus, setting a new standard in AI-powered STR technology.
I’ve created unique technologies for STR, multifamily real estate, and e-com — and developed platforms unlike any seen before.
OHAI BY ORION HAUSThe world’s first fully-automated property management system
My current project. Absolutely everything automated. AI. Guest portals. Apps. Integrations without manual interventions. Self-service guest needs. Automated payouts. It does everything.

My passion is creating operational systems… and automating them through technology.
WHOLE FOODS AND AMAZONCreating technologies to scale uniqueness
Whole Foods is known for having a unique design aesthetic in each location, but when Amazon took over they hired me to answer the question: Can uniqueness be programmed?
Design is equally important as functionality.
And I always have an opinion on both.

I love taking on new industries and creating things that have never been done before.
