a few companies I've worked with

A long story short

This started a long time ago, when I first started exploring tech & business around 12.


I believe in living life through principles, not rules.

First touched code, age 12

I started dabbling with web development for the very first time when I was around 12.

First business, age 13

At 13, I founded my first business: food delivery to my school, through a simple website where people could order sandwiches. Profitable, but not scalable.

First hackathon, age 15

My first hackathon was the first time I worked with other engineers. From there, I started to get hired & paid for freelancing, and engineering in real startups.

First tech startup & tech lead role, age 16

I launched an ed-tech startup age 16. I led engineering for this company. It was the first time I managed other engineers. Lots of learning.

Since then

I founded Minthouse.dev when I was 17, and have been involved in all kinds of businesses since then. Building & exploring constantly.
