My life in bullets:

• Ran away from the hospital to avoid amputation
• 2007: Dropped out of college due to lack of funds after medical expenses
• Worked in McDonald's, Cafe's and other odd jobs
• 2009: Finally managed to get myself and my family out of that slum
• 2012: Became homeless after losing a job in a new city

Already hunting for gym & indoor golf 😆

#CloudFestAmericas

Started my longest journey yet to #CloudFestAmericas …a 3hr first leg, followed by a 17hr layover, and then another 16.5hr flight before I finally land in Miami!

It’s my first time at CloudFest, and I’m really looking forward to meeting some brilliant minds from the hosting industry.

I spun up my first server with cPanel back in 2007, and I’ve been in love with the thrill of this industry ever since.

Almost every product there might be competing with another, but I genuinely believe there’s still so much we can share and learn from each other.

Looking forward to learning, meeting old friends, making new ones, connecting with partners and, of course, meeting our users.

I’m equally excited about the sports events happening on the sidelines!

If you’re around, drop me a DM. Would love to catch up!

Everyone’s adding AI to everything.

We shipped a caching plugin. 😅

Meet RunCache 🚀

Make WordPress faster and reduce server load with full-page caching, Redis object caching, and edge caching.

Built for RunCloud. Now open source, making server-side caching more accessible without the usual complexity.

50k+ apps already using it.

No AI. Just caching. Doing caching things.

14 years today. 🎂

Started my first business to pay my hostel rent and survive in the city.

Somehow, that survival project turned into a life I’m incredibly grateful for.

Happy birthday to where it all began.

Still figuring shit out. 😁
