My name is Taylan Pince, and Kaizen Musings is my little corner of the internet. I tend to use this patch as a way to self-document my various interests, both personal and professional. It’s also a good excuse to write more, which I enjoy as a strategy for thought exploration and personal growth.

Who Am I?

I am a software engineer turned product manager and entrepreneur. I spent the last 20-odd years launching startups from the idea stage and getting them to market. I also launched and grew a digital product agency. I enjoyed the journey and the battle scars that came with it. Most importantly, I got to meet and work with some wonderful people along the way.

I lived in 3 countries so far, and I moved between Europe and North America 4 times. I currently live in sunny Barcelona, Spain with my two daughters and lovely wife. This location appears to be permanent. For now.
