I got into tech when I was 19. After my parents literally did everything in their power to keep me from leaving them and going to university.

I started making 6 figures at 21. I joined the Stack Overflow podcast at 21. I took my first flight at 21 to MC a conference in Salt Lake City.

I started working at my first big tech company at 22. Total comp over 200k. I gave my first keynote talk at 22 in Berlin.

I started working at another big tech company 2.5 years later at 25

Throughout all this I experience unimaginable hardship and I worked through every single obstacle with the help of my friends in and out of the industry, my network, my sister and my therapist.

Now, at 26 I’m finally honoring 18 yo me by going to college and getting my Computer Science degree🥹🥹 The money I made and invested is allowing me to take the time to do this now and I couldn’t be more proud of myself😭🫶🏾

There’s some really interesting developments happening in the tech + ai world and what I’m noticing is that smaller, newer companies are more poised to whether the ai market than the big names in tech are. Very interesting

This is so so interesting

It seems like Microsoft has been hit really REALLY hard by the ai boom more so than their peers. What’s that about?

Honestly you’d be surprised how far being a nice person and a joy to work with and be around will take you. You really win nothing by being mean on the internet bc you never know who will be the one who decides whether or not you get hired
