Promoting Zesty in a Clair Obscur Expedition 33 suit

A creator at heart

For about ten years I've built through immigration, going over language barriers, burnout, and starting over. I try to stay honest and direct. I like untangling messy systems so the product feels simpler for real people. I'm not chasing titles; I'm chasing work that still feels worth it years later.

Off the clock, I get just as intense about the stories I love. I'm a die-hard Attack on Titan fan: it's the language I use for growth, resilience, and choosing what matters when everything is loud. I've written long posts, lost forum threads, and still draw my favorite ships.

Lately I'm deep in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, mostly for Maelle. Her arc is vulnerable, fierce, and weirdly good fuel when I'm building.

After a visa detour in Australia, I moved to the US team and designed tools to help self-employed people file faster and keep more of what they earned.
