I'm a developer focused on building businesses. That's customers not investors. Currently building a web agency supporting businesses improve their digital footprint, still early so come reach out for reduced rates. Leveraging world class academic talent in AI from imperial and pairing that with domain experts on TikTok to build ViraNova... CEO of conventa.
Designing. Developing. Marketing.
If you are interested in those we will probably get along.
Age 18: Built student apps and tried dropshipping. The Valentine's Day teddy bears arrived a week late, disappointing hundreds of customers. Lesson: Focus on solving real problems, not just making quick money. Age 19: Started 8 different projects but never finished any of them. Spread myself too thin across incomplete ideas. Lesson: Better to ship one complete product than have eight half-built ones. Age 20: Launched an NFT collection I didn't believe in, spending heavily on 3D artists upfront. The project failed because my heart wasn't in it. Lesson: Only build things you're genuinely passionate about, and validate before spending. Age 21: Built Conventa while working at Palantir. Spent months perfecting the solution without talking to potential users first. Lesson: Product-market fit matters more than having the perfect product. Age 22: Started a web agency during my master's. Made my first £10K outside employment, but hit a ceiling because I was the bottleneck for everything. Lesson: Service businesses are hard to scale when you're the main deliverable. Age 23: Launched ViraNova, an AI video platform for businesses. Had a solid B2B product people would pay for, but never invested in marketing before returning to full-time work. Lesson: A great product needs great marketing. Age 24: Worked at Agora to develop my technical skill set. TBD
