After 13 years of remote work and nomadic living, I retired from tech at 32 and chose Thailand as my base. I've been a major contributor to Ghost, one of the largest open-source projects on GitHub. Saving 80% of my income over the last 13 years allowed me to FIRE early.<p>My journey went from debugging code to mastering BJJ and riding waves. Now, instead of pull requests, I'm pulling armbars, writing, and surfing in tropical waters.
