Perhaps it’s time for a career change, a healthier rhythm, or space to explore what matters now.

Let’s talk it through and find a practical place to start.

Who I am

Three decades in tech, from software engineer to CTO and startup founder, then back to building independently as a solo developer and entrepreneur.

I understand both the work itself and the pressure that comes with responsibility, change, and uncertain decisions. For years, I worked 12-hour days while getting out of shape and watching my health decline. That led to a personal and professional midlife crisis. What followed was extreme dieting, a spiritual journey, and rigorous physical training. I went on to compete at the CrossFit Games and the HYROX World Championships, while still balancing career pressure, family life, and other hobbies.
