About Me
I’m an engineering manager based in the Seattle area. I have worked over 10 years in FAANG. This blog is my platform to write about my personal finances, thoughts, travels & experiences.
I’m a passionate PNW adventurer who loves exploring misty forests, alpine meadows, and rugged coastlines. Always on the hunt for breathtaking views and wilderness experiences. You’ll either find me curled up at home, reading articles about the FIRE movement, or out on the trails, hiking or camping somewhere in the beautiful Pacific Northwest.
How This Works
New posts go directly to your inbox when you subscribe. Expect two posts a month.
All subscribers get full archive access.
Why subscribe?
The goal here is to give you the full, unfiltered story so you can see exactly how I navigate my journey as an immigrant navigating life in the US while pursuing Financial Independence, Retire Early (FIRE). No sugarcoating, just real, raw experiences that might just help someone else out there who's walking a similar path.
My approach to content is simple: everything stays free and open. Unlike most newsletters that hide behind paywalls, I believe in accessibility. I trust my readers to support the work through voluntary donations. If you choose to contribute, your support means the world to me - but there's zero pressure. My goal is sharing valuable insights with everyone, regardless of their financial situation.
