Dai Aoki
CEO, init Inc. / Solopreneur
A full-stack engineer and serial entrepreneur with 9+ years in the tech industry. I've been passionate about building things on my own since before I started working as a professional engineer — personal development projects were my hobby long before they became my career. I specialize in turning ideas into shipped products, from founding companies to leading technical teams, building and scaling web applications that serve real users.
