Hi, I'm Alan Chester 👋

Engineer Turned Product Leader | MBA Candidate | Obsessed with Efficiency | AI · Cloud · Product Strategy

I lead product management & strategy at Oracle (OCI Operations). Over 15+ years I've worn a lot of hats — engineer, security expert, product manager, internal consultant — and built cloud platforms from the ground up: secured funding, bootstrapped engineering teams, shipped the product, and then worked directly with enterprise teams to drive adoption.

This is the second major technology transition I've navigated. The first was cloud (I built the platforms that made it possible). Now it's AI — and the pattern is identical.

Why I Build

My Computer Science degree taught me how to architect production systems. My Applied Math degree lets me understand what's happening under the hood of AI models. My security background means I see the risks others gloss over. And my MBA (in progress) is sharpening the finance lens to prove ROI, not just assume it.

All of that serves one obsession: efficiency.

What I'm Working On

  • 🧠 ea-agent — AI-powered personal executive assistant built around Obsidian
  • golf-coach-agent — AI Golf Coach using Vision LLMs for swing analysis
  • 🎮 pokemon-red-ai — Reinforcement learning toolkit for training AI agents to play Pokémon Red
  • 🍎 mac-dev-setup — One command to go from zero to fully productive on macOS
  • 📄 paper-skills — Claude Code skills for academic paper triage and Obsidian integration
