A Founder’s Journey Into Autonomous AI Systems

I did not come from Silicon Valley.

My path came through a different part of the world – the part where people work hard, navigate uncertainty, and push through real life because they have families to support and futures to build. My journey is shaped by lived experience, not traditional tech corridors, and that perspective is a core part of Daikomyo.ai.

I first realized the job search system was breaking people when I tried to transition into tech myself. I couldn’t get a resume to look anything like what companies wanted. I didn’t know what skills were actually relevant. And the idea of submitting hundreds or even thousands of applications wasn’t just unrealistic; it was psychologically punishing. Even with a background in sales, the prospect felt unbearable.

That was the moment I asked a simple question: “How can AI help me do this?”

That question became the spark behind the AI Job Engine.

For nearly three years, I immersed myself in AI. YouTube videos, articles, research papers, conversations with models. I loved the technology, but for a long time I wasn’t building anything myself. I thought I had missed my window decades earlier when I was an undergraduate at Arizona State University. I chose general business back then, and it felt like the door to engineering had closed.

But something shifted. I started experimenting in an IDE and noticed a pattern: if you communicate clearly, learn the fundamentals, and work steadily, you can build real systems. Brick by brick, concept by concept. I kept showing up, kept building, and eventually I realized something incredible – I could finally create the systems I had always seen in my mind.

There is also a deeper reason behind my work. My wife lives with Multiple Sclerosis, and I believe AI will one day help cure conditions like hers. I can’t sit back and hope someone else gets there first. I need the skills, the understanding, and the tools. So I build.

Once I started, everything changed. Emotionally, the process is a roller coaster – frustration, breakthroughs, disbelief, and sometimes laughter at the absurdity of struggling with things that would have been nearly impossible only a few years ago. Cognitively, I now run two parallel mental loops at all times: envisioning what I want to build and analyzing what is actually happening inside the system.

My imagination has always been vast, but I could rarely keep up with it. Now, with AI, I can.

My mission is simple:

You should have an AI that cares about you and walks the path of life with you – supporting the best version of you in everything that matters.
