How I got here.
From a Python calculator to shipping real products — this is the timeline.
A calculator with if statements
My first coding project was a Python script that was just a calculator held together with if statements. It barely worked, but it was the first time I made a computer do exactly what I wanted, and that stuck
SiteLift launches
My mom needed a website, and I wanted to help so I figured it out. Then a family friend asked me to do theirs. Then someone they knew. Before I knew it, I had a real business - SiteLift.
Turns out people need websites
SiteLift kept growing. Every project taught me something new; how to scope projects, how to say no to clients bad ideas, how to ship on a deadline. Running a one-person agency at 17 is a quick way to learn a lot.
Shipping an iOS app
Every fitness app I tried was doing too much - social feeds, AI coaches, way too muchgamification. I just wanted to log my workouts in something other than Google Sheets. So I built The Log. Designed it, coded it, shipped it to the App Store.
Building in public
I'm still working on SiteLift and the Log, but in public. I'm sharing the wins and the failures. If you're building something too, come along for the ride.
