My fascination with technology began in the spirited realm of childhood, where video games not only offered entertainment but also sparked a curiosity that would shape my future. This curiosity transformed into a tangible passion during my middle school years, thanks to a family friend’s collection of spare computer parts. The challenge of assembling these parts into a functioning computer was my first real foray into the world of technology - a journey that began in my parents' garage and has since taken me to some of the most innovative tech companies in the world.

In high school, I was the student who spent hours in the advanced computer tech class, not just learning but also doing. I was dismantling and reassembling machines, understanding their workings, and getting my first taste of what it means to solve complex problems. This early exposure to technology was more than a hobby; it was the laying of a foundation for a career that would later see me navigate through the complexities of coding and software development.

The pivotal moment came during my college years. As an enterprising student with a limited budget, I faced a challenge: I needed a website for a small home goods moving service I had started, but I couldn't afford to hire a developer. Undeterred, I decided to take matters into my own hands, delving into the world of web development. This decision wasn't just about building a website; it was about taking control of my entrepreneurial journey. It marked the beginning of what would become over a decade-long career in programming, contributing to projects at renowned companies such as Nike, Fluke, and Tesla.

My technical career is peppered with milestones that have each contributed uniquely to my understanding of technology's role in business. Whether it was developing an intricate piece of software or finding innovative solutions to seemingly insurmountable challenges, each experience honed my ability to think critically and creatively.

Perhaps the most valuable skill I've acquired through my technical endeavors is the ability to deconstruct any problem, no matter how daunting. This skill has removed the fear of facing new challenges. It has taught me that any problem, irrespective of its size or complexity, can be solved with a methodical approach and a bit of ingenuity.


As I reflect on this journey, I see a path marked by continuous learning, adaptation, and a relentless pursuit of solutions. It’s these qualities that have not only defined my career in technology but also shaped my approach to business and entrepreneurship.
