i like to build things that help ppl. ex-citadel. ex-google.

…should I start my dunk training arc? 😆 It’s always been a dream of mine to be able to dunk. I’m 26 & if I don’t dunk before I hit 30 I’ll probably never make that dream come true. Ngl tho it’s gonna be tough balancing this with the startup. Doin legs once a week isn’t gonna cut it 😩

Day in the life: coding, preparing for an event, and trusting in our product. We care a lot about our users and really want to give them a great experience every time. But my cofounder and I have to learn to let go and trust that the platform works.

Still trying to fix my sleep schedule pt. 273 🥲 My problem is that I’m trying to fit too many things into my day cause there’s a lot to do and I have a hard time walking away from an unsolved problem when coding late at night. Gotta fix it though. Will keep yall posted when I fix this habit 🫡

FINALLY started posting consistently and realized that the only thing holding me back was myself. No need for fancy edits or scripts. Just needed to share my story, document my journey, and be myself. My people will find me :) Thank you for supporting and following my journey fr!! 🙏

Another day in the life of a 26 YO technical cofounder. Today I worked on improving our matchmaking algorithm that assigns people to their closest matches when they attend our events. It just makes it so much easier to connect with people when you have something in common

Typical day in the life of a 26 YO technical cofounder. Started with some meetings, focus work, gym session, & then some more work till bed time. Didn’t get to work on user-facing features today, but we are focusing on streamlining operations which will enable us to focus on higher leverage tasks.

Consistency beats perfectionism. Posting for the last 20 days showed me that I do have time to make these little videos documenting my journey. I just need to lower my standards while still trying to provide value.

We still do things that don’t scale. At an early stage startup we think that’s okay because if we didn’t, we wouldn’t even be here right now. By going to every single one of these events, we’ve learned so much by talking to our users.

Some of yall have been asking what I used to to do, why I quit my job, & and what led me to where I am today building the startup of my dreams as a 26 YO technical cofounder. Well I think it’s finally time I share more about my story. The why behind what I’m doing. Origin story comin soon 🙂

Do you have dreams of building a startup but don’t know where to start & how? My cofounder & I are building something to help you launch your startup & save MONTHS of wasted time (based on real world experience building our own startup) Comment “STARTUP” & I’ll let you know when we drop it.

Come with me to meet 35 strangers :) I’m building an app that helps people meet new people in their city called 3rd Space Social with my cofounder. The coolest thing about building this app is that we get to meet our users and see them have a good time and leave each event with new friends.

REMINDER TO FOUNDERS: Make time for your health. Building a startup is a marathon. To endure the journey, you need to take care of yourself. To perform at your best you have to take care of yourself. Don’t let your startup die because you forgot to put yourself first.
