At age 22 life wasn't matching my expectations. I realized in order to to have more, I needed to be more. For 6 months I did little else other than read books. I eat up all the personal development, and marketing material I could get.

After walking away from university in my 20's, I returned years later with clearer intent and fewer illusions, graduating with an MBA. I went looking for academic achievement and left with more than credentials — sharper strategic thinking, stronger reflective habits, and the uncomfortable awareness that I still had lots of inner work to do.

As long-running health issues began to resolve — following a clear hockey-stick improvement — I felt drawn back to development. This included a short programming course in Edinburgh and a deeper return to hands-on coding. In parallel, advances in AI caught my attention, not as a novelty but as a way to fuse strategy and implementation more directly. I’ve since been working toward my own vision: an AI application designed to help entrepreneurs craft effective strategy quickly and clearly. Developing story.
