My story
I know what it means to build a life across
different worlds.
I spent around six years studying computer science and six more working as a software engineer. Along the way, I lived and worked across China, Japan, the UK, Germany, and the Netherlands.
That experience made me deeply curious about how we understand ourselves, make meaningful decisions, and create careers that actually fit.

Why work with me
A different kind of career conversation.
International perspective
Lived experience—not just theory—from studying and working across five countries.
Analytical thinking
An engineer’s instinct for finding patterns, asking precise questions, and creating structure.
Personal development
A thoughtful understanding of confidence, identity, values, and what keeps us stuck.
Practical strategy
Grounded guidance you can turn into decisions, conversations, and concrete next steps.
How sessions work
Thoughtful conversation.
Practical movement.
Bring what’s real
You don’t need a perfect question. Start with what feels unclear, stuck, or important.
Make sense of it
We slow down, notice the patterns, and get clearer about what matters to you.
Move forward
You leave with grounded options and practical next steps that feel genuinely yours.
Kind words
The conversation helped me find direction and gave me some immediate action points. I also became clearer about the kinds of companies I should target.
The advice was very useful and specific. I immediately knew what I could improve and how, and it was also helpful to know what I was already doing well.
