Be My Friend

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 β€” strangers who became real friends β€” 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 β€” with you.

Living in Tokyo? Learning Japanese? Building something cool? Or just want to say hi? Send me a message. I read every single DM. No joke.
