"building what others won't."16. building the future at plawlabs as ceo.
proof beats talk:
- started with clade ai: autonomous systems built to actually solve problems, not create new ones.
- redefined search with sorana: decentralized, human-first, and free from manipulative algorithms.
- now launching a wave of SaaS tools to empower builders, founders, and creatives.
learned the hard way:
writing great code is easy; building technology that changes lives takes vision. the best tech isn't just functional—it's deeply human. engineering is 20%, understanding people is 80%.
most 16-year-olds are planning for college. i'm planning how to ship products that make traditional systems obsolete. not because it's rebellious, but because some things can't wait.
what i've figured out:
- most people will tell you to wait your turn. they're wrong.
- the right team > the right idea. nothing happens without execution.
- perfection is a trap. boldness and speed beat hesitation. every time.
where i'm at now:
- alumnus of buildspace s5: where people build cool shit.
- transforming the way humans digest knowledge using ai, we've consumed a lot.
- scaling tools that matter—decentralized, autonomous, and human-first.
- assembling builders who think bigger: the kind of people who don't care about rules, only results.
if you're ready to rethink what tech can do and actually build:
P.S. if you think "this kid's crazy," good. everything worth building sounds crazy until it works.
