There is one more year left of the 2020’s. I am 28 years old, almost the entirety of my adult life has been spent in this decade. I’ve seen the world change in ways I couldn’t imagine - global health crisis, politics, the environment. I’ve seen myself change in ways I would have never imagined - moving across the world, working in the best startups with the best teams, becoming a face of the AI industry. It seems like both a minute has passed and a lifetime since I set my first set of goals in the end of 2020.
From 2021 to the end of 2022, life was about pushing myself beyond the limits of what I thought was possible. I ran a marathon, moved to a new country, graduated university, got a job I was nowhere near qualified for.
Between the start of 2023 and the end of 2025 I was focused on surviving and keeping my head above water. Moving to a new country was more taxing than I ever thought it was going to be, between learning a new language, trying to figure out the bureaucracy of applying for visas, working in a high profile startup, finding an apartment and all the little things in between. Still, I managed to excel at my job, become a sort of influencer on LinkedIn, travel across the world, grow in a new sport, and learn to love exercise again. These three years set the foundation for the next three.
I have built a level of success I am still taken aback by when I think about it for too long. I have poured by heart and soul into what I’m doing, and I love doing it. I have influence and impact on the industry, when I say something online, people react and believe in me and my narrative.
