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.
