For the last decade I've been the person who takes an idea and makes it real — designing the interface, building the backend, shipping the whole thing. Most of that has been on my own startups, so I've owned every layer of the stack and learned what it actually takes to get something off the ground.
I recently finished a Master's in Entrepreneurship, which means I think about what's worth building, and not just how to build it.
When I'm not building, I'm thinking about how startups work: as experiments more than businesses, using agile as a way to learn rather than just ship fast, and why learning from failure is a skill worth having. I have learned the ability to get feedback, pivot, and adapt while building a product is worth as much as clean architecture.
