I'm building AI agents in my evenings — exploring how LLMs change the shape of software when treated as real operators inside workflows, not as autocomplete.

I'm also in the market for the next chapter — an engineering leadership role at a company on a trajectory I'd be proud to have shaped. Remote globally, or relocation to USA (Texas), Japan, or South Korea.

At 3, I took my father's screwdriver and opened a cassette player while it was plugged in. I electrocuted myself trying to understand how it worked. That instinct hasn't changed.

At 8, my father plugged a dialup modem into our home computer and showed me the internet. I learned HTML by right-clicking "view source" and editing pages in Notepad. By 10, Byte magazine had taught me circuit design and PIC Assembly — my first real programming language. Online mentors taught me PHP shortly after, and freelance commissions followed.

Twenty-nine years later, I've shipped solo MVPs in weeks, co-founded companies, scaled engineering organizations past fifty, built physical datacenters, and mentored more than 250 engineers. The fascination is still the same one I had at 3.

If you're building something that needs an engineering leader who can also sit in the code, I'd love to talk.
