Serge KADJO — Co-Founder
Hardware doesn’t move slowly because it’s hard. It moves slowly because your current tools and processes are not communicating effectively. I’m Serge Kadjo, after 10+ years building real-world physical products, from IoT, deeptech and robotics to energy and healthcare across 5 continents, I have been lucky enough to live through the pain of building hardware products from: - fragmented tools - manufacturing nightmare - manual documentation - months-long iteration cycles Today, I decided to fix that by giving hardware teams (designers, engineers, makers) the connection layer they've been denied: * ProductFlo.io: the collaborative OS for hardware teams * Haitch.diy: an AI engine that turns ideas into manufacturable engineering outputs 👨🏿🚀 My Mission Make hardware development as fast, collaborative, and accessible as software. I am dreaming of a day when everyone will be able to ship physical products as easily as software is today! I share what I learn every day, no theory, no hype. 🌳 Background - African || Côte d'Ivoire 🇨🇮 (Born & raised) - Speaks French, English, Arabic, Polish, Mandarin - Multiple Visas (O1 🇺🇸 + Passport Talent 🇫🇷) - 10+ years in hardware product development and systems engineering - Founder + Full-stack builder (SaaS, AI, healthcare, robotics, IoT, energy) - AI systems architect with a focus on domain-specific LLM applications - Abidjan → Paris → Wroclaw → Shenzhen → Atlanta → New York 🌱 Philosophy & Approach 1. How I Build: "Think like a scientist, build like an engineer, execute like a founder." 2. First principles thinking: Break problems down to fundamentals, question assumptions, rebuild from ground truth. 3. Rapid iteration: Ship early, learn fast, iterate based on real feedback (not theory). 4. Cross-disciplinary innovation: The best solutions come from combining hardware, software, and AI in novel ways. 5. Impact over hype: Build things that actually work, that solve real problems, that generate actual revenue, not just impressive demos. 🚀 What Drives Me Inspire the next generation of Black/African engineers, leaders and dreamers to believe in themselves and their Dreams. 📫 Let's Connect I'm always interested in conversations about: * Engineering, hardware, AI * Hardware startups and product development challenges * deep tech startups * building real things that ship * Early-stage (0-1) companies and startups ♠️ let’s connect 📧 Email: serge at productflo.io 💼 LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/swkkadjo 🐦 Twitter/X: @swkkadjo ⛓️ GitHub: github.com/spyhack225
