Career Snapshot — Reimagining Work

Currently, I'm unemployed and working on my own projects, trying to figure out how to build a sustainable life around work I actually enjoy doing — instead of forcing myself back into work I don't enjoy, like tech.

At the same time, I've also been noticing that tech may be changing in ways that make it feel less heavy than it used to. With AI tools now, building things has started to feel way more accessible, fast, and creatively satisfying. The fact that I made this website in basically two days was honestly very telling. It reminded me that maybe the part of tech I hated wasn't always the building itself — maybe it was the pressure, the rigidity, the environment, or the way I related to it.

And Claude Code especially has been kind of amazing. It really feels like the barrier between idea and execution is getting smaller, which opens up a version of work that feels more empowering and aligned than before.

So I think where I'm at career-wise is this: I'm still figuring it out. I'm not in a conventional path right now, but I am exploring. I'm experimenting with what it might look like to support myself through things that feel creative, self-directed, and meaningful. And maybe, alongside that, I'm also slowly reopening the door to tech — but on different terms this time.

I don't fully know what the final shape of my career will be yet. But I do think I'm getting closer to understanding what kind of life I actually want to build, and that feels important.
