About Vanwebdev

A web shop that survived two extinction events and came back as an AI infrastructure company.

Same name, same founder, new vision.

2016. The web shop years.

Vanwebdev started in 2016 as a traditional Vancouver development shop. Computer Science degreed founder, dual citizen, full stack across PHP, JavaScript, Magento, WordPress, and Azure. Real clients in real industries: construction firms, tour operators, catering companies, bus carriers across British Columbia. Production sites, real revenue, no demo work.

2020 to 2023. Two extinction events.

Then COVID hit. Then AI hit. Two extinction events for traditional agencies. Most web shops in Vancouver pivoted to surviving, paused hiring, narrowed scope, or shut down. We did the opposite. We went deeper.

While the industry argued about whether ChatGPT was a fad, we were running production AI systems. Not prompt engineering. Not no-code automations. Real infrastructure: self-hosted models, vector databases, retrieval pipelines, multi-agent orchestration. Built quietly, deployed to clients who needed it to work.

2024. Productization proves out.

OnSiteSafety launched. Construction safety training delivered through a productized stack we built end to end. Five to nine thousand dollars per class, recurring, no custom dev per engagement. Proof that the AI infrastructure thesis works as a business: operate the systems, sell the output, keep the margin.

2025 onward. Fleet scale.

The infrastructure accelerated. Eight server fleet running today. GPU inference for fast paths, CPU clusters for batch, agent orchestration with Claude Code at the operator layer. Persistent autonomous workers. Custom MCP servers. Observability that you can read like a dashboard, not like log soup.

By 2026, we are one of the rare independent firms operating AI infrastructure at fleet scale in Canada. Not consulting about it. Operating it.

Why we exist.

The current AI market is dominated by two failure modes. First, hyperscale vendors selling subscriptions to your operational dependency. Second, consultants selling slide decks they cannot deploy. We built a third path: Canadian operated AI infrastructure that runs on your terms, in your office or our cloud, owned by you, supported by people who actually run the systems they recommend.

If you are a Canadian operator who needs intelligent systems and is allergic to vendor lock in, we are built for you.

Founder.

Computer Science degree. Dual citizen of Canada and the United States. Decade plus of production engineering across web, infrastructure, and now AI. Operates the eight server fleet himself, writes the code that ships, and answers the email when you send one.
