Now I'm exploring what's possible when you combine:
→ Enterprise engineering discipline
→ Bootstrapped builder mindset
→ AI as your co-founder
The result: One person can now build what used to require entire teams.
Most people dream of stopping work at 65. I've found something better.
Doing what I love. Creating software people actually want. Getting paid for solving real problems, while being my true self.
That's my retirement. And it starts now.
No VC telling me to 10x in 18 months. No boss questioning my decisions. No board diluting my vision.
Just me. My skills. My choices.
I'm a generalist tech founder who can build the entire business—product, code, marketing, sales, everything. Most people see that as a lack of specialization. I see it as my unfair advantage.
Here's what the corporate world doesn't understand yet:
AI isn't just a tool. It's my operating system.
I have the world's knowledge at my fingertips. Every business framework. Every growth strategy. Every technical solution. Available instantly.
One person with AI can now compete with teams of 50. I believe that deeply. I'm betting my career on it.
The question isn't whether I can build something competitive. The question is what I choose to build.
I watched too many colleagues sacrifice their lives for someone else's exit.
My rule is simple: Business supports life. Not the other way around.
Work to live. Never live to work.
I have two kids—a 3-year-old and a 1-month-old. They're not going to raise themselves while I'm chasing some arbitrary revenue milestone.
I want to:
And I want to do all of this with complete freedom:
That last one isn't about buying fancy things. It's about never having to take a job I don't want. Never compromising my values for a paycheck. Never going back.
Bootstrapped. Profitable. Sustainable.
No shortcuts. No compromises. No Plan B.
This is the only path that gives me everything I want: meaningful work, time with my family, and the financial security to never look back.
Corporate life had its place. It taught me what I needed to learn.
But that chapter's over.
Now I'm writing the rest of the story myself.
