AboutEnterprise experience.
Enterprise experience.
Founder urgency.
For thirteen years at Comcast Labs, I built AI and computer vision systems used by more than 40,000 field technicians—and earned eight US patents along the way.
I kept watching smaller businesses get priced out of useful AI: the solutions were too expensive, too generic, or too disconnected from the way work actually happened.
So I co-founded HummingAgent with my brothers, Joey and Kelly—yes, we’re identical triplets—to make enterprise-grade AI practical for businesses of every size.

Common questions.
What does HummingAgent build?
HummingAgent builds AI agents, voice agents, private knowledge tools, and custom software that work inside the systems a business already uses. Projects are scoped around the operation, deployed in weeks, and owned by the client.
How should a business get started with AI?
Start with a process, not a tool. Pick one repeatable workflow that consumes meaningful time, automate it end to end, measure what changes, and expand only after the value is clear.
Does Shawn take on consulting or project work?
Yes. Advisory work is direct with Shawn; implementation work is delivered with the HummingAgent team. The first step is a focused call to map the operation and identify the highest-value starting point.
Does Shawn speak at events?
Yes. Sessions cover practical AI adoption, moving from an AI idea to a working system, and AI ownership, security, and control. The speaking page includes upcoming events, past appearances, topics, a bio, and a headshot.
What are Shawn's patents about?
Shawn holds eight US patents from his time at Comcast Labs, spanning dynamic positional audio, information-stream management, network communication, and device configuration.
