This is why I’m writing

Context

I didn’t grow up in a place where startups were a thing.

No meetups. No tech parks. No VC networks. Just a small rural town, a poor internet connection, and the will to figure things out.

Fast forward to now, I’m running a software development studio with 9 team members, shipping AI and blockchain projects for clients around the world.

And this newsletter is my way of documenting the real, raw side of that journey.

Why this newsletter exists

I didn’t start writing to “build a personal brand.”

I started writing because I needed clarity.

Building a business is chaotic.

Writing forces me to think straight, stay honest, and refine what matters.

This newsletter will not be hype or hustle.

It’ll be stories, experiments, failures, lessons, and things I wish someone told me earlier.

What you’ll get

• Real insights from building an AI-first dev studio

• Behind-the-scenes of launching products and working with clients

• Lessons from failures, rejections, and the slow grind

• AI tools I’m testing

• Frameworks and systems I use to run a lean remote team

• Small wins worth celebrating and the stuff that didn’t work

If you’re building something, a product, a service, a path of your own — I hope this helps.

What we’re working on

Right now, we’re focused on building AI agents that integrate with real-world tools like Trello, Notion, WhatsApp, and more.

We’re also packaging our internal agent infrastructure into something reusable so SaaS founders can deploy GPT-powered agents on top of their product in minutes.

We’ve shipped demos, landed leads from Reddit and WhatsApp, and we’re learning in public.

Why it matters

I believe AI is the lever of this decade.

It’s not just about ChatGPT prompts.

It’s about building agents that operate your business in the background.

And it shouldn’t be reserved for only the well-funded or the well-connected.

That’s why we’re building from the edges.

From a village. With intention. For a global market.

Long-term vision

There are two parts to this:

1. Externally – build a world-class AI dev studio that helps founders move fast.

2. Internally – create opportunity for students and builders from small towns like mine to learn, earn, and ship for global clients.

If we do this right, we’ll have built something much bigger than just software.

Closing note

If you’re reading this, thank you.

This isn’t just a newsletter.

It’s a build log. A personal archive. A signal that we’re just getting started.

Talk soon,
