// the story
eight years of building.
mostly in private. until now.
seven chapters. read fast, or scroll the cinematic version →
- 01
age 10. first computer.
wanted to play games. wondered how games were made. googled it. youtube → html → css. copy-coded sites in school. introvert with a keyboard. nobody knew.
- 02
lockdown. tried everything.
dropshipping, ecom, a clothing brand, a few saas. failed at most. kept building. didn't ship publicly — too shy. every quiet loss was a lesson i'm still cashing in.
- 03
grade 9. robotics club.
finished the beginner arduino car so fast i walked up to the humanoid team uninvited. 'i want in. here's what i bring.' it worked. ended up the best project of the club.
- 04
gpt-2 era. early to it.
found ai before most of the people i knew. bard, gpt, every new tool — day-of. but kept shifting projects. didn't ship. didn't post. that's the mistake i'm undoing now.
- 05
the line that flipped me.
"just show it to people. it can be the most ugly thing. ship it, then make it better." — one line, exact right moment. shy kid → showing up. it's still the rule.
- 06
TA-ing 2k+ builders.
saw a community full of questions and nobody answering. stepped in. solved. they made me a TA. ended up helping 10k+ people figure out how to actually build with ai.
- 07
now. building in public.
may 2026. done waiting for permission. shipping the projects, writing down the playbook, gathering the builders. this site is the start of doing it loud.
