I'm not a guru. I'm a founding engineer still figuring it out — and sharing everything along the way.
In 2021, I shut down my startup and lost $125K of my own money. No investor bailout. No soft landing. Just me, staring at a bank account I'd drained trying to build something that didn't work.
That failure taught me more than any success could. Now I share those lessons so you don't pay the same price.
My path has been messy, expensive, and full of lessons I wish someone had shared with me. Now I share them with you — so you can skip the mistakes and get to the good stuff faster.
Built and scaled a startup as CTO. Learned what it really takes to ship product, talk to users, and make hard decisions.
COVID hit. We shut down. Lost $125K personally. The most expensive MBA I never asked for — and the most valuable.
Joined Microsoft as a Software Engineer. Used 4 years to recover, rebuild, and strategically plan my next move.
Back in the arena. Building at a stealth AI startup while documenting everything I learn along the way.
No fluff, no theory. What actually happened and what I learned from it.
For people who want to build things, not only talk about building things.

Most founders wait for the perfect moment, the perfect co-founder, or the perfect idea. Here's what you actually need to get started.
