Finding My Own Rhythm: From Non-Dev to CTO of a Japanese Startup
[Find Your Own Rhythm, Not the Correct Answer]
From an n-Year Non-Tech Background to a CTO at a Japanese Startup
We have prepared a very special seminar for those who want to build their careers at their own pace and rhythm, rather than following the crowd.
Even with a degree in computer science, starting out as a developer wasn’t immediate, leading to years spent in non-tech roles. "Is it too late to start over?" Amidst countless moments of doubt and hesitation, Kim Doyoon embraced his background as a former publishing editor, using that broad perspective and unique experience to shape his own distinct "vibe." Today, he is thriving as the CTO of hundreds LLC, a startup in Japan. In this seminar, he will share his vivid story of building a global career.
If you are curious about how to survive and thrive flexibly in the real world with a macro perspective—rather than getting trapped in technical perfectionism—and how to grow on the global stage through "Vibe Coding," don't miss out on this meetup!
