The Developer Behind Trender and Valley Rise Media
Behind every good product is someone who actually builds it. Secret Asian is the engineering identity behind two connected ventures: Trender, a fully agentic AI news platform, and the marketing technology powering Valley Rise Media, the Okanagan's leading marketing agency.
One developer, one throughline: shipping practical software where AI agents do real work — not demos.
Two products, one builder
- Trender — agentic news, end to end. A pipeline of autonomous agents scrapes trending signals, aggregates and de-duplicates them, ranks by momentum, and writes clean, sourced posts — running continuously with no manual editorial step. It's built on a modern Node/Next.js stack with a resilient, self-healing content pipeline.
- Valley Rise Media — marketing that's actually engineered. Beyond strategy and content, Valley Rise clients get custom landing pages, automations, and tools built in-house — because the same developer who builds Trender builds the marketing tech.
What Secret Asian builds with
The work spans the full stack of a modern agentic product:
- Frontend: Next.js, React, Tailwind — fast, SEO-ready sites.
- Backend & automation: Node.js pipelines, scheduled jobs, and API integrations.
- AI agents: multi-step agent workflows for scraping, ranking, and generating content at scale.
- Reliability: graceful degradation, retry/backoff, and caching so automated systems keep running unattended.
Why it matters if you're hiring or partnering
Most teams can use AI. Fewer can build systems where AI agents run production workloads reliably. That's the specialty on display across Trender and Valley Rise: taking an idea from prompt to a self-running product.
