Chanon Ngernthongdee is Head of Corporate Digital at Rende Development Group, a Thai conglomerate spanning 20+ companies across hotels, restaurants, real estate, and sports. Operating at CTO scope, he sat exactly where every business owner hurts most: every company had software faithfully recording decades of data, yet every executive question still waited on a report, and every report still waited on a developer. He solved that problem by hand, company after company — until it became clear the solution shouldn't be reinvented inside every organization. That realization became Thara.
Behind it is a 20+ year career built from the ground up — from embedded systems engineering to enterprise ERP implementation, broadcasting technology, specialized security systems, and technical advisory work vetting technology investments for a family office. Every system he signs off on has to work in live operations, not just pass a demo. Thara is built to that same standard.
What makes Thara possible today is Chanon's hands-on mastery of Agentic AI Engineering — 100+ production systems shipped through AI coding agents, including PumpRadar, a civic platform serving over 2 million users that he built entirely solo. That's the experience of someone who ships real production systems with AI — not someone who talks about it. It's why Thara customers skip years of trial and error: the person who already made every mistake built the shortcut for you.
