HONEST FARMING

Pixelated scene of a programmer working at a desk with a view of pastoral farmland through a window

I left Silicon Valley to start a farm in rural Japan

Ex-Coinbase engineer gone full solopreneur. I build products that build better people — software that enables human autonomy and cooperation. When I'm not shipping, I'm farming sweet potatoes and edamame in the countryside.

How I got here

Rolling farmland with clouds

Big Tech gave me the tools

I spent years at Coinbase and Uber building systems that serve millions. I learned how to ship, how to scale, and how to build things that work. But I also saw how technology can optimize for engagement without ever asking whether it's making people better.

Seedling breaking through soil

Japan gave me the roots

I walked away to study theology, farm in rural Japan, and ask harder questions. What would technology look like if it served human flourishing — not just growth metrics? The answer started taking shape.

Lush, abundant landscape

Now I'm growing something different

Software that helps you own your habits, reason through hard problems, and control your own data. Tools built on the conviction that technology should make people freer and more capable — not more dependent.

The underutilization of human potential is one of our most critical problems. Technology should amplify what makes us human, not exploit our weaknesses.
