The people, places, and services we work with.
You made it all the way here. That means something.
When I was 20, I moved to Australia with almost no English. I was lonely, confused, and completely out of my comfort zone. But the people I met there — strangers who became real friends — changed my life.
That feeling of being welcomed by someone who doesn't have to care, but does? That's what I'm trying to recreate. It's why I built Pechakuchat. It's why I run events. It's why I'm writing this right now.
I quit my job at an AI company, started my own, launched 5 businesses, sold 3. But the thing I'm most proud of? The friendships I've made along the way. I want to make one more — with you.
Living in Tokyo? Learning Japanese? Building something cool? Or just want to say hi? Send me a message.
