I eventually moved to California to work at Google, where I was in online sales and operations, while continuing to explore side projects.

After university, I initially felt confined in the family business, so I explored other projects before returning to work on ambitious engineering projects.

After quitting my job at Amazon, I moved to San Francisco where I found a co-founder and began working on various startup ideas without being picky about the market.

After exiting my first company, I spent time working at startups and venture builders to gain experience and learn from faster-growing companies.

After college, I worked at a biotech firm but felt the slow career progression pushed me to pursue entrepreneurship, especially after a roommate suggested we start a company together.

I noticed that many local businesses had poor websites, so I decided to leverage my skills and help them improve their online presence while making some money in high school.

In the early years, I spent time convincing government officials about the benefits of the internet for job creation and economic improvement, which was crucial for our growth.

I started my first company out of my dorm room at Stanford, aiming to help students get jobs at banks and consulting firms, but it ultimately didn't work out because no one was using LinkedIn at the time.

I was an academic before I joined Amazon, working as a research scientist at Cornell for 10 years, focusing on large-scale distributed systems and doing startups on the side.
