I kicked off my career as a software engineer, diving deep into the tech trenches at powerhouse companies like Google, T-Mobile, PayPal, and Kleiner Perkins. But as much as I loved crafting code, my passions evolved, steering me toward the thrilling world of entrepreneurship.Today, I’m all about founding, advising, and investing in ventures across cool spaces like health, education, media, and sustainability. Armed with my tech skills and a knack for solving real-world problems, I've had the pleasure of mentoring the next wave of innovators through platforms like Founder Institute Japan, Hacker Fund, and Techstars.Let’s be real—building beautiful, simple solutions for complex problems is my jam. I’m all about creating products that not only work seamlessly but also make life better. And as much as I cherish my engineering roots, my heart beats for driving innovation and growth as an entrepreneur.I’ve also hit the international stage as a public speaker, sharing my two cents on marketing, fundraising, and strategy—bridging the gap between tech and biz. I believe collaboration, education, and a dash of cultural respect can elevate not just the music industry but any space we touch.In the grand scheme, my mission is to craft solutions that connect us all, spark meaningful change, and build a more harmonious world. Because in the end, whether we're talking beats or bytes, it’s all about making a lasting impact.
