The Journey

From Commodore 64 to $2M Valuation

Early Days

Hooked on Tech at Age 5

I started tinkering with code on a Commodore 64 back when computers felt like magic portals. At age 11, I entered a programming competition and snagged first place across the entire province.

That first taste of what happens when you mix creativity with persistence lit a fire that hasn't gone out since.

Education

PhD vs. Freedom

After graduating with distinction in Computer Science, I was offered a PhD scholarship. But my advisor gave me golden advice: "If you're good at making money, you can hire a PhD anytime."

I skipped academia and jumped into business full-throttle, realizing 9-to-5s weren't for me.

First Launch

The $0.67 Launch Day

After countless iterations and failures, I published my first software project. Launch day? I made a whopping $0.67. I still have that $0.67 framed in my office to remind me where it all started.

But I didn't quit. I dove deep into user psychology and marketing.

Success

$2M Valuation in 6 Months

Within less than six months, that same project hit $25,000 in monthly recurring revenue and a $2M valuation. It was proof that persistence plus smart strategy pays off.

Today, I manage a portfolio of tech ventures serving over 5 million users every week.

THE INVESTOR

Lead Investor & Mentor

I don't just build my own products. I invest in promising software ventures and mentor engineers worldwide to help them bridge the gap between technical skill and business success.

Mentoring
The Philosophy

World in a Suitcase

🌎

30+ Countries

Travel isn't just a hobby; it's how I stay inspired. I live super minimalistically — my whole world fits in a suitcase, keeping me light and free to move where the next opportunity is.

🏗️

First-Principles Thinking

I break problems down to their basics, attack bottlenecks head-on, and focus on constraints. It's the most reliable way to build and scale products that last.

🧠

User Psychology

Most engineers nail the tech but miss the "why people care". I bridge that gap by decoding human behavior and crafting software that solves real pain points.
