Engineer → Founder

LEFT $140K FOR BUILDING SOMETHING GREAT.

Very weird but I don't have a killer idea, but I'm confident that I'll figure out. All I have is myself who is ∞% ALL IN.

The Unconventional Journey

I understand this is not a conventional software resume. Rather than optimizing for a specific toolchain, my goal is to communicate all my life experiences.

My background is rooted in owning real-world systems end-to-end—where failures are costly and reliability matters.

This deep-rooted sense of ownership has fundamentally shaped how I approach problems, experimentation, and decision-making.
