The short version
I'm a full-stack software engineer, technology trainer and builder with 10+ years of industry experience and a background in cognitive science, AI and applied mathematics. I've led teams as a CTO, and these days I work heavily with AI coding agents and help engineering teams fold them into real workflows, not just the hype.
My path has been a colorful mix: I taught myself to build software, competed in 22 hackathons across seven countries, trained teams at banks and consultancies, spoke at science slams, and drew live sketchnotes at conferences. Today I split my time between building Slangua and running workshops, mostly from Bali.
My mission is simple: teach to empower. I believe complex things don't have to feel overwhelming, and I design the learning environments where that becomes obvious.
