How I started coding. At 13, I started coding. Technology has always been my passion, I just knew what I wanted to do. At 14, I co-founded my first nonprofit to give internships and projects to students learning to code. We ended up helping 700+ students globally. We shut it down because we became managers instead of developers. At 15, I built and shipped my first SaaS and made my first money from it. At 16, I spent 4 months building my first mobile app to stop doomscrolling. I built in public and gained millions of views across X, LinkedIn, and YouTube. The app grew to thousands of users. Along the way I also grew my social presence to over 50K followers. One Important thing I learnt. Consistency beats motivation.
