00.1Background

Childhood

After the USSR collapsed, my parents immigrated and worked very hard to build a new life. I started picking up work at fourteen. Warehouse shifts, manufacturing lines, construction cleanup, driving, waiting tables on weekends.

00.3Retrospect

Earning money this way was hard, took a lot of time, and wasn't scalable. Our time in this world is limited and I was fortunate to be born in times where advanced tools are highly accessible which can enable me to scale infinitely the value I can bring to the world with my time, and that was-and-still is my END GOAL.
