I grew up with early access to a computer becoming obsessed with making content I learned photoshop by the time i was 9 and by 13 getting deep in blender for 3D design doing thumbnails for some of the biggest Fortnite YouTubers. Eventually i got into ecomerce starting my own clothing brand Minimaru at 14 which scaled past $1M in revenue within a year and a half through viral marketing. By 17 I was burnt out with my business and began learning to code starting a club at my school with my best friend documenting the journey on Serenidad

then took a gap year moving to Vermont working at Hack Club, growing their Instagram to 100K followers and building software every weekend. Then after moved to rural Japan for 2 months coding an anime storyboarding tool eventually pivoting to learning hardware building a drone apart of Nautilus, a 3 month residency in San Francisco

After 2025 I left marketing and software behind to go deep into biology/neuroscience joining a stealth biotech start up working with brain ipsc to help map the human brain
