AboutMy Journey

For over 20 years, I've been building products and leading engineering teams. What started as a passion for solving problems with code has evolved into a quest to create technology that genuinely helps people achieve what matters to them.

Why "Human Quest"?

When I started building products under the Human Quest umbrella, I wanted a name that reflected my core belief: technology should meet people where they are on their journey and help them reach their goals.

A "quest" implies something that isn't easy—mastering a handstand, organizing your life, achieving your aspirations, or pushing the boundaries of what's technically possible. These are challenges worth pursuing, and technology can be a powerful ally.

Over the years, Human Quest has also become my personal quest: building products for problems I encounter, exploring technologies that fascinate me, and constantly learning through creation. Some products solve real pain points I've experienced. Others are technical experiments—pushing boundaries and discovering what's possible.

Whether you're here to explore the products, exchange ideas about building software, or discuss engineering leadership—I'm always happy to connect.
