Launched Voki.study
After identifying a pain point in Quizlet's paywalls, I built Voki.study to provide free study tools for students. It's a web application that offers flashcards, clozes and smart study modes. Key idea was to keep the product free for students and monetize through teacher features that require a subscription. This way, we can provide value to students while generating revenue from educators who want to enhance their teaching with our tools.

IT specialist apprentice in application development
Learning the ropes of software development in a corporate environment at Swisscom, the biggest telecommunications company in Switzerland, while working on real projects. This apprenticeship is a great opportunity to gain practical experience and develop my skills in application development, while also learning about the industry and how businesses operate. Attending vocational school alongside the apprenticeship allows me to deepen my theoretical knowledge and apply it directly to my work, creating a well-rounded learning experience.
Self employment
Once I turned 18, I wanted to try working for myself, so I registered my first company. I took on freelance projects and started building my own products. This was a great learning experience, and it taught me a lot about the realities of running a business, managing clients, and delivering value.
Hello, Switzerland!
Moved to Switzerland, embracing new opportunities and challenges in a different environment. This move marked a significant turning point in my life, exposing me to new cultures, ideas, and experiences that have shaped my personal and professional growth. Learned 3 languages in the process, and developed a deep appreciation for Swiss culture and values.
Where it started
Took computers apart before I knew how to put them back together. I also had a passion for electronics and tinkering. I was fascinated by how things worked and loved the process of discovery and creation. Some habits from those early days have stuck with me.
Hello, world!
