TJ is a Bay Area–based BevTech entrepreneur and AI strategist building the consumer data layer that the global beverage industry has long been missing. As the founder of Spiritz.AI, he is helping beverage brands, retailers, and hospitality businesses better understand consumer behavior at the point of discovery and purchase.

Spiritz.AI is a BevTech AI platform that instantly transforms any bottle or beverage image into a world-class AI sommelier experience. By simply taking a photo or uploading a beverage image, users receive tasting notes, cocktail recipes, food pairings, and personalized beverage recommendations — all accessible instantly through any browser, across 16 languages, with no app download or installation required.

TJ is a regular voice on BevTech AI & innovation across the APAC circuit — having spoken at the Taipei International Wine & Spirits Exhibition (April 2026) and the Vietnam Wine & Spirits Expo in Da Nang, with upcoming appearances at the HKTDC Hong Kong Wine & Spirits Fair and F&B Taiwan later this year. He has published industry whitepapers under TWENTYZERONINE VENTURES LLC on LinkedIn, including “The Role of AI in Tequila Manufacturing” — exploring how artificial intelligence is reshaping spirits production, quality transparency, and global market strategy.
