Back on Hashnode, Let’s work:

After graduating and leaving my grad role at ServiceNow, life felt bleak. I was 22 with the world at my feet, yet it was shifting fast, AI tools dropping left and right, over 10,000 layoffs in FAANG companies in 2023 alone, and the future looking more uncertain than ever.

New beginnings in my personal life, a new city, and somehow I landed in a niche NHS start-up. For the first time, I wasn’t the only BAME person on the team, all four of us were Black, building something so niche it felt unreal. Six months later, I started my own company and Virtual Health Solution was born.

Now I’m getting back into writing, both personal and technical, just like when I was 19 working in the Web3 space. I’ll be breaking down the AI tools that helped me launch my own company and step in as a fractional CTO for others. It hasn’t been easy. Resilience has been my fuel, and yeah… a bit of delusion. Fake it till you make it.

The photo above is Kobe after his Achilles injury. He took 9 months off, came back stronger, and dominated again. Starting a company from scratch has felt like that, an Achilles recovery where you’re playing every position: customer service, technical support, software development, marketing, sales, everything. I’m grateful for every role I’ve done, because they’ve given me the skills to move with grace now.

I’m back. 4th quarter. Triple double loading.

💡 For anyone starting young, it’s not meant to be easy, but the grind will build you in ways you can’t imagine. Keep shooting your shot.

P.s slightly annoyed my anxiety played up when I was a young buck and deleted all my previous post
