At 15, I began to gain momentum. I built a bunch more projects, like electrocuting myself when I say um, and co-founded a data analytics startup for bitclout where we hit a $1m market cap. This led to me being sponsored to attend ETHLisbon, where I eventually started a non-profit named PadawanDAO to help young hackers get into the space.

At 16, I started working at Buildspace as one of the first engineers. At my time there, we raised $10m from A16Z and grew to 100k+ users. Over the weekends, I was shipping something new almost every week. I eventually left as my school grades started to plumment - who knew moving across the continent and never attending class would do that 😛

At 17, I found a loophole in my school that let me graduate while being online, and joined Bifrost (YC22). Here I was able to spend my senior year both in-person with the team in SF, and also a couple months living nomadic with friends in Costa Rica.
