Tai Pham has spent thirty years building technology businesses across the US, Vietnam, and Thailand. He will be the first to tell you that he has consistently underestimated how hard each one would be—a pattern he has apparently failed to learn from, since he is still doing it.<p>Earlier chapters of his career include directing Amazon& E-Commerce Web Services to 1.2BGMVtarget,carrying25M–$75M in annual revenue at Microsoft as virtual CTO to 50 Fortune 500 accounts, and founding Vietnam first offshore software company in 1994—earning him the local press title &quot;father of Vietnam software outsourcing,&quot; a designation he jokes ages you faster than the work itself. His current chapter: building Green Passport, Southeast Asia&#x27;s first end-to-end agricultural Export Operating System, targeting Thailand&#x27;s THB 90B agricultural export sector. The platform has integrated with Central Lab Thailand and China&#x27;s national blockchain to GACC customs, with a completed POC moving 270 tons of exports and achieving zero customs rejections. What Tai wants to talk about is how AI—generative, agentic, and otherwise—along with IoT, blockchain, AI vision, and cybersecurity can transform industries the rest of tech has ignored: agriculture, public-sector workflows, traceability, customs, and food safety. He believes the next decade&#x27;s biggest commercial outcomes will not come from another SaaS dashboard; they will come from putting intelligence into supply chains that still run on fax machines. He is always happy to compare notes with anyone building in agriculture, AgriTech, public-private partnerships, or applied AI in messy real-world domains. The messier, the better.
