LONG BIO (~200 words)
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Shawn Kercher is the Co-Founder and CTO of HummingAgent, a Denver-based
company building AI agents, voice agents, and custom software that work
inside the tools and data a business already has — deployed in weeks and
owned by the client, not rented.

For 13 years at Comcast Labs, Shawn led AI and computer vision work used
by more than 40,000 field technicians, and holds 8 US patents spanning
computer vision, dynamic positional audio, information-stream management,
and device configuration. He is also a published researcher (SCTE).

Watching smaller businesses get priced out of enterprise AI — too
expensive, too complex, too generic — pushed him to co-found HummingAgent
with his identical-triplet brothers, Joey and Kelly, with a simple goal:
make enterprise-grade AI accessible to businesses of every size.

Shawn speaks to founders, operators, and technical audiences on AI
adoption for small and mid-sized businesses, agentic workflows, context
engineering, and replacing rented SaaS with agents you own. He has
appeared on the Grow House Founder Series panel and the "David vs
Goliath 2.0" panel at the University of Denver.
