Building the future, one line of code at a time

My Journey

My story in technology began before I could even ride a bicycle. While most kids were learning to balance on two wheels, I was diving into the world of coding, laying the foundation for what would become my life's passion. Ironically, I later discovered a love for cycling and now proudly own a folding bike that accompanies me on many adventures.

At 14, my journey took an unexpected turn when I suffered a severe injury that threatened to derail everything. But what could have been a setback became a catalyst for growth. Through determination and resilience, I not only recovered but emerged stronger, with a deepened understanding of perseverance that would later prove invaluable in my entrepreneurial journey.
