About

I'm a visual writer who was once an engineer. In 2024, I took a long break from my Silicon Valley tech career and did what I wanted (and what others warned me against) - I stopped, travelled, and learnt things that made me curious. I've spent years being told I was too slow. Slow to decide, to think and to know what I wanted. I now use slow as my super power. Having pivoted my career multiple times - from Mechanical Engineer to Software, then to Art, I am open to help people who are looking for big transitions in their own lives. Currently working on my first book in Philosophy + Art genre. I have been writing every day for the last 3 years. I am interested in reading: Psychology (dreams and imaginations, dark emotions, and connections with mythology), Philosophy, and any book that can makes me feel something new. I am also a Top 10 rated mentor on ADPList.

How I can help

career pivot, write a book, start a daily writing practice, work on a deep and long project, confused about career
