My dream is to build a better world with software

About

My story

It took a long time for me to find my passion in building software and applications. I started like many, a business student who went on to work in real estate and later at an advertising agency doing marketing. With a clear eye on what my future was, I decided to walk a different path, one which took me overseas to Japan for over 3 years. Living abroad was the best experience of my life. I worked as an English teacher and got to teach many children while learning about a new culture and way of life. While life was amazing, I sought a path to have a larger impact on the world. That path led me to fostering many ideas to create things, and software has become my tool of choice for making my ideas into real life utilties.
