Career & Code

5/10
Launch a SaaS productcareer2025

Build something people pay for. Not a side project that lives in a GitHub repo — a real product with real users and real revenue.

Get a remote jobcareer2024

Full-time remote at a forward-thinking company. No commute, no office politics — just shipping code from wherever.

First open-source contributioncareer2025

Contributed a feature to a popular open-source library — Laravel. First PR merged, started driving traffic to my GitHub.

Remote work with an international clientcareer2025

A software engineer found me online and started outsourcing work. That first payment in USD turned into an ongoing collaboration.

Build my first websitecareer2022

A landing page for my school. Terrible code, but seeing it live in a browser for the first time — something clicked.

Code in 40+ technologiescareer

Not just hello-world tutorials — actually ship something in each one. Vibe coded or not, who tf cares 😄. 40 stacks, 40 shipped things.

Write 10 technical deep-divescontent

Not SEO listicles. Real deep-dives on RSC internals, database indexing, building a bundler from scratch.

Learn a new programming languagecareer

Go, Rust, or Swift. Something that forces me to think differently about the problems I already know how to solve.

Hit 1K stars on a GitHub repocareer

By building something so useful that a thousand strangers vouch for it.

Ship a product that earns on its owncareer

A SaaS, a tool, anything. Proof that I can create value independent of my time.

02

Grind.

Inside Out

1/12
Create portfolio websitepersonal2024

This site. Every pixel is intentional, every interaction earned its place. The project that ties everything else together.

Go pure vegetarianhealth

No meat, no eggs. No exceptions, no 'just this once.' Years in and don't miss it.

Quit sugar, coffee, and packaged foodshealth

All at once. No cheat days. The hardest bugs to fix are the ones in your diet.

100 pushups in 200 secondshealth

No breaks, no excuses. Just chest to floor, 100 times, under 3 minutes 20 seconds.

Run a 10K under 60 minuteshealth

Currently can't run 3K without wanting to quit. Sub-60 is the goal. Finishing is the real goal.

Hit the gym consistently for a yearhealth

Started lifting, fell off, started again. 365 days without breaking the chain. The compound effect applies to muscle too.

Record a podcast conversationpersonal

A real conversation about building on the internet — the messy parts, not the highlights.

Reach a $1 million corpuspersonal

Not about the number. About the freedom it buys — the ability to say no to work that doesn't matter.

Read 12 books in a yearpersonal

Not speed-reading. Actually finishing them. Highlighting, thinking, rereading the good parts.

Learn to swimhealth

Grew up without a pool. It's time. Not just floating — actual laps, actual breathing technique.

Learn a martial arthealth

Boxing, jiu-jitsu, muay thai — something that teaches discipline through getting hit.

Meditate for 30 consecutive dayspersonal

Longest streak: 11 days. The irony of being too busy to sit still for 10 minutes is not lost on me.

03

Wander.

Places & Thrills

0/5
Skydivingadventure

My legs shake on balconies. 13,000 feet of freefall. The fear is the point.

Solo travel to another countrytravel

No itinerary, no safety net. A place where I don't speak the language. Getting lost on purpose.

3-month Eurotriptravel

Prague, Berlin, Lisbon. Working from cafes, collecting stories. Remote work made this possible — now I need to book the flight.

Scuba divingadventure

Breathing underwater. Seeing a world that's been there the whole time, just below the surface.

Camp solo under the starsadventure

No tent, no roof. Just a sleeping bag, silence, and whatever the sky looks like at 3am.
