2015: At 18 years old, I sold Runescape merchanting guides online.
Made around $1k USD total.
It was my first time making money online, a significant amount for me as a student earning $100/month.

2016: Started chemical engineering at uni after being inspired by Breaking Bad.
Got great grades but didn't enjoy it.
Stopped in the fourth year (2021) due to lack of motivation and realizing it wasn't for me.

2021: My girlfriend and I started an e-commerce business selling accessories related to the cryptocurrency HNT.
Our successful launch brought in $1000, and at our peak, we reached monthly sales of around $15,000
.
Due to the cryptocurrency market crash, we had to shut down.

2022: Started learning programming with courses.
Inspired by girlfriend's web scraper project, I shifted to software development.
Took python and web development courses at uni and on Udemy. Now enrolled in a 2-year web development vocational program.

2023: Spotify frontend engineer internship
After a year of coding, I applied for a role at Spotify.

Accepted for the internship, excelled in coding, and learned valuable skills in high-quality, scalable code.

Now: Intern at a consultancy, creating mobile & web apps.
Started indie hacking in April, now confident in building SaaS products.
Improved coding skills significantly while working at Spotify.
Excited for the road ahead, determined to succeed and reach goals.
