About Burt Lao
Veteran Developer. IT Strategist. Building digital tools for people who value speed, simplicity, and results.
The Person Behind the Pixels
I've always believed that the best software doesn't just work—it feels right. My journey in technology began in 1990, navigating the early frontiers of IT.
Since 2003, I've shifted my focus to building tools specifically for entrepreneurs and founders. Whether I'm writing C# for a robust Blazor app or a quick Python automation, my focus has remained the same for over three decades: making technology work for you, not against you.
Burt Lao Digital is the culmination of that experience. It's just me, working from my desk, obsessed with making your digital life more efficient.
My Core Philosophy
-
Performance First Code should be fast enough that you never have to think about it.
-
Visual Clarity If it's hard to look at, it's hard to use. Aesthetics matter.
-
Reliable by Design I only ship products I would (and do) use myself every single day.
Reclaiming My Voice
A few years ago, my life changed forever when I was diagnosed with Aphasia. I lost the physical ability to speak, but I never lost the drive to communicate, create, and lead.
Technology didn't just give me a hobby—it gave me back my identity. Through ElevenLabs, I was able to clone my own voice. Today, that AI-cloned voice "speaks" for me in my apps, my videos, and my scripts.
More importantly, it has become a source of passive income. While I can no longer talk in the traditional sense, my AI workforce is working and speaking for me 24/7. This isn't just a guide; it's my reality.
