🚢 Always stay shippin'
🪄 Where it all began
At 14, I lost my dad to a double homicide. It instantly flipped a switch in me and I started building. I spent the next couple months developing a gun detection algorithm to call 911 whenever a firearm would be seen on CCTV. This model has since been implemented in a couple convenience stores.
At 15, I began to gain momentum. I built a bunch more projects, like electrocuting myself when I say um, and co-founded a data analytics startup for bitclout where we hit a $1m market cap. This led to me being sponsored to attend ETHLisbon, where I eventually started a non-profit named PadawanDAO to help young hackers get into the space.
At 16, I started working at Buildspace as one of the first engineers. At my time there, we raised $10m from A16Z and grew to 100k+ users. Over the weekends, I was shipping something new almost every week. I eventually left as my school grades started to plumment - who knew moving across the continent and never attending class would do that 😛
At 17, I found a loophole in my school that let me graduate while being online, and joined Bifrost (YC22). Here I was able to spend my senior year both in-person with the team in SF, and also a couple months living nomadic with friends in Costa Rica.
