Hi, I'm Michael.
I build things on the internet.

// the reason

I want to know
how far I can go.

Most people choose the safe line. I'd rather find the edge of what I'm capable of and live there for a while - even when it's lonely, even when it doesn't work.

I live by a set of principles that point me at one goal: building a great startup, eventually a unicorn. Everything else is just a path there.

Pitching to the room.

I've pitched in front of senior leaders from crypto.com, Alibaba Cloud, Global Group, the ASEAN Economic Forum and Siam Piwat - making the case for what I'm building and where it's going.

About

Hey, I'm Michael - welcome to my site 🙂.

I'm a founder and builder currently based in London. I'm a self-taught coder and I just finished my A Levels in Economics, Politics and English Language & Literature (Grades AAA).

Instead of going down the standard graduate path, I'm following my purpose which is to build something meaningful and valuable for a lot of people. A lot of people believe in me and I have a responsibility to prove them and myself right.

At 15, I couldn’t afford a global markets program, so I took initiative and created a free market research report for the founder. It helped refine the company’s positioning, and as a result, I was brought on as his associate - earning access to a five-figure program while working closely in a two-person team at a seven-figure global markets startup.

Outside of building, I play a lot of tennis, muay thai and squash 57. I spend a lot of time thinking about how to compound - constantly learning new skills that will help my founder journey.

Currently

Building exara, the command center of customer operations. It's an AI company that finds where customer journeys break, what they cost and what to fix next. You can follow along on LinkedIn.

Building something interesting?
I'd love to hear about it.
