Welcome to my Substack and my first post, so without further TLDR let me briefly introduce myself.

I am a 20-year-old CEO, Founder, and developer running my company Airoma. Currently, I am also a freelance developer, researcher, student, and whatever else I may be interested in learning at the moment.

I come from a very nerdy and curious childhood, from tearing apart the 1,000-piece lego set my mother spent all night generously building to “see how it was built“ and learning how to change my high score on a web game via inspect element in elementary school to impress friends.

With every “how does this work“ my parents took me to the library where I would check out books on coding languages, engineering, and mathematics. (I was not lying about being nerdy) One of these books really shaped much of my ambition, the Biography of Bill Gates, titled something like “The richest man in the world: founder of Microsoft & Xbox.“

Software Engineer, Entrepreneur, and Philtranpist. The three most desired roles I wanted to achieve after reading the book. Ever since then, I have been on my path to accomplish just that. It was the trifecta of doing something I enjoyed, earning money, and helping others.

In subsequent posts, I will write in more detail about my current and past business ventures, technical overviews of building a social media platform, and anything else I find interesting to write about. Hope you enjoy!
