A Glimpse Into My World
Beyond the code — my education, the novels I obsess over, the music that fuels my focus, and the tools that power my workflow.
My Story
Why I Build
The Spark
I was 13 when I wrote my first line of QBasic. But what hooked me wasn't the code itself. It was showing it to my friend and watching their face change. They said, 'Wait, you built that?' That gap between 'just code' and 'something someone cares about' became the thing I chase.
The Moment It Clicked
My first real project was GoodWill, a platform for connecting NGO donors with volunteers. The tech was messy. MERN stack, barely held together. But three actual organizations started using it. I realized that a shipped imperfect product teaches you more than a polished tutorial project ever could. That lesson shaped how I build everything since.
What I'm Building Toward
At WeAssist.io, I'm building WorkStackOS from the ground up: the operating system for distributed teams. Multi-tenant SaaS, AI teammates that handle payroll and compliance, RBAC across agencies. I went from shipping features at a startup, to delivering AI products solo as a freelancer, to owning the entire architecture of a platform. The bet is that AI should do the operational grunt work so humans can focus on work that requires judgment.
