Just Koffeemocha It

A living lab for bold transitions, brewed weekly by Kefei Wang

Why this space exists

I founded Koffeemocha after my early retirement — from Silicon Valley engineer to New York essayist — to answer a single question:

How do we stay relevant, grounded, and useful when life asks us to reinvent?

Each week’s Being Bold letter is my field note from that inquiry, blending decades in systems engineering with a seeker’s curiosity. Think of it as coffeemaker‑meets‑compass: equal parts precision and aroma, clarity and comfort.

What you’ll find here

• Essays that unpack career pivots, encore living, and creative risk‑taking.

• Travel reflections (California, Shanghai, Egypt, Germany, NYC’s Upper West Side) that turn place into metaphor.

• Mentorship stories for engineers, retirees, and leaders in flux.

Is this for you?

• You’re carving a second or third act and want more than standard advice.

• You value both being (reflection) and doing (strategy).

• You like your insights like your coffee — strong, layered, and occasionally surprising.

If that’s a yes (or a curious maybe), you’re home.

About me

I’m Kefei Wang — structural engineer turned database architect, cloud‑infrastructure leader turned writer‑mentor. Early retirement at 60 didn’t mean slowing down; it meant remixing. Today I split my time between laps at Equinox and laps on the keyboard, helping others steer bold transitions with humor, data, and soul.

Let’s brew courage together.
