• I built a social app that could dethrone Instagram and Snapchat. Here's what happened:
• The vision was simple but revolutionary:
• Social media that puts you IN THE MOMENT
• Your posts appear WHERE you create them
• Memories that STAY instead of disappearing into the endless feed
• What I built from scratch:
• Full-fledged iPhone app deployed to the App Store
• Real-time posting functionality that real users actually used
• Location-based memory pinning (your posts stay where you create them)
• Voice conversations as the primary communication method
• Complete backend infrastructure handling thousands of requests
• Tech stack I mastered along the way:
• React Native for cross-platform development
• PostgreSQL database architecture
• Cloudflare for scalable deployment
• Twilio integration for SMS notifications
• Apple TestFlight for beta distribution
• Traction that proved it wasn't just another app idea:
• Grew dedicated email and SMS subscriber list
• Secured beta testers through Apple TestFlight
• Conducted user interviews that shaped the roadmap
• Instagram captures moments.
• Snapchat makes moments disappear.
• Spacesnap makes moments matter.
• Temporarily pausing marketing to build a health-tech app for children with autism, integrated with invisible AI. It’s a novel approach that puts kids in the driver’s seat of their social development.

• Billionaires hit mistakes and think how to do better in their next venture. Worked on building a full-on clothing brand for teens working on everything from start to finish. Read ahead...
• Successfully launched the store, but learned an important lesson that sticks with me to this date: even though my marketing was really good and the target market's feedback was positive, I should have first launched a round of pre-orders to assess if people were truly willing to purchase the clothing.
• I learned:
• Building an ecommerce store along with the nitty-gritty features that Shopify offers.
• Using payment processing.
• Creating realistic product images without having the physical clothing - intricate photo/video editing.
• First time creating and setting up a Facebook Ads Manager Account.
• Convening with potential teens interested in the brand for feedback and iterating over design ideas.
• Building branded SMS automations for notifying people of their order.
• Communicating for hours with Print-on-Demand (POD) suppliers to understand their operations and output, pricing structure, taking note of helpful suggestions by their CS team, clarifying questions about their platform.
• How to quickly lose sleep
• Instead of hustling to work on one-task-after-another, scope out and look at the bigger picture to understand if what I’m working on a day-to-day basis is actually working towards achieving the bigger goal.
• All of this, self-taught.
• Important lessons learned; now building the next big thing with these lessons in mind.
