About
I started my career in software back in 2010. For over a decade, I followed the standard engineering path, eventually finding myself in a comfortable, high-paying job.
But I wanted to build something of my own. On July 7th, 2023, I walked away from that security to start my company, Arima.
Since that day, I have been heads-down building, and to be completely honest: I am still yet to release the product.
This space is not a showcase of polished, overnight success. It is an honest reflection of what it actually feels like to build in the dark—the daily friction, the struggles with procrastination, the long path from idea to code, and the mental battles of doing it alone.
If you are also out there trying to build, stalling, starting over, or just figuring it out, I hope these writings show you the real side of the journey. You are not the only one in the grind.
