My Story

I grew up in Japan and spent the first part of my career in sales and trading at an investment bank. It paid well, but it wasn’t what I wanted to build my life around.

So I left and tried building businesses. Ecommerce, dropshipping, creative projects. I jumped between ideas and worked as a contractor at a few startups along the way. None of it panned out the way I hoped. I learned a lot, but I didn't have a clear edge in any of them, and eventually each one ran its course.

Then I joined an AI automation firm. Not as an engineer, I didn't have that background. But I started picking up the tools: n8n for workflow automation, Claude Code for building with AI. For the first time, the gap between "I have an idea" and "I built the thing" started shrinking fast. I realized the tools had changed enough that someone like me, no CS degree, no engineering background, could actually build real, working systems and products. We're living in the best time in history to build things from scratch. I plan to make the most of it and share everything along the way.
