Mostly software businesses — small, scrappy, built solo to find out if they can pay for themselves. The longer game I'm playing:

1. Build a few businesses that actually make their own money.
2. Get good enough at it to start buying businesses, not just building them.
3. End up with a small portfolio I genuinely care about — and keep it.

The problem I keep circling while I do it: why does adult life get so boring and disconnected? As kids you didn't need courage to make a friend — you said "want to play?" and ten seconds later you're doing WWE moves on a mattress, laughing till you can't breathe. Somewhere that got hard. A lot of what I build is me poking at that.

Before software: photography — 8 years, fashion to fine art. The years in between were tuition.

I'm not a trained developer. I just get hold of an idea and have enough stubbornness to ship it.
