Web Design & Hardware Ventures
Kicked off my tech journey in 1999 as a junior high student, building websites for my school and experimenting on platforms like Geocities and with Flash. By the mid-2000s, I was running a scrappy company delivering custom websites for clients while also working as a professional computer builder, assembling and optimizing hardware for customers. These early ventures sparked my passion for coding, systems, and problem-solving—skills that evolved into a full-fledged software engineering career.
1984–1999: Child of the ‘90s Tech Dawn
When Dial-Up Was King
Grew up in the ‘90s, a magical era when tech was just waking up—no cell phones, no social media, just the hum of dial-up and the thrill of floppy disks. I watched the digital world bloom, from clunky PCs to the first whiffs of the internet, sparking a curiosity that led me to build my first website in ’99. Those raw, unplugged years shaped my love for tech’s potential and problem-solving.
