I learned how to write code and launched my first startup when I was 15 years old. I had two exits and led growth teams at one of the biggest online gaming companies (over $1.5 billion revenue). The company has IPOed and is currently trading on the London Stock Exchange (LSE: ENT) 🦄

I always had a passion for discovering how things work by taking them apart and coming back with a better solution. When I look back in time, I feel that three different cultures shaped my entrepreneurial DNA. It was skateboarding, hip hop and hacking that heavy influenced who I am today.  

Skateboarding taught me how to be free, explore cities, appreciate architectural shapes and take some pretty crazy risks.

Hip Hop taught me how to be real, value friendships and become a go-getter. All these diverse things magically came to together when some friends got me into Hacking. I learned how to code, set goals and manage complex networks, after that I just fell in love with tech 🖤

Traits from the above cultures, gave me an inherent risk appetite and helped me develop the out-of-the-box mindset and skills needed to go build crazy stuff from scratch. They also gave me the confidence to go against the crowd, chart my own path and use technology in order to be free.

Along the way, I picked up a BA, an MSc with a research thesis on Adtech and Artificial Intelligence, and in true entrepreneurial spirit, I dropped out of Stanford during my grad studies in computer science—got too busy building things instead!
