My journey as a Founder started when a surfing accident left me in bed for a few months. I had way too much time to think and realized I really want to build something that matters. When I ended up at Google, I got to see how fun software engineering can be—especially when you're on a team.

Experience That Shaped the Mission-My Working Journey

Each role sharpened my thinking—from engineering execution to product vision. It’s a trail shaped by experimentation, momentum, and trust in small, driven teams.
