STAFF SWE @ META · 200K YOUTUBER · AI-NATIVE BUILDER
Eight years as a full-time software engineer at Meta. Weekdays shipping AI-native tools, weekends running the 커리어해커 알렉스 channel — teaching non-engineers how to wield AI as an unfair advantage.

A Silicon Valley engineer's path totime · money · emotion— freedom from all three.
실리콘밸리 개발자가 알려주는 시간, 돈, 감정에서 자유로워지는 법.
Three things, and only three. AI-native tooling that gives you time back. Solopreneur execution that cuts the money dependency. A steady working rhythm that keeps emotion out of the loop. Eight years as a Silicon Valley engineer, 200K YouTube subscribers — this is what I found in between.

About
I prove it by building — not by pedigree.
I'm a full-time Staff Software Engineer in Silicon Valley, eight years in. By day I work on Instagram Ads infrastructure at Meta; by night I build AI-native tools alone and put them on YouTube.
A non-engineer can now run a one-person company. I want to prove that to you — tools, finished artifacts, and lessons compressed into lectures.
Solopreneurs. AI-native. Action over fear. That's the whole philosophy.
