Continuous Learning

I’ve never had a formal path into product building. Everything I know—design, coding, architecture, even how to build and lead teams—I learned on my own. Most of it came through trial, error, and a long list of mistakes. Some painful, some funny, all of them useful.

Over time, I realized that being a self-taught founder isn’t about knowing everything. It’s about never stopping the process of learning—about people, about systems, about how technology can serve us better.

Learning Through Action

I’ve always learned by watching the best and borrowing from them. Sometimes that meant copying how they worked, step by step, until I understood why it worked. There’s nothing wrong with that—creative copying has always been part of progress. The key is to adapt what you take and make it your own.

Every mistake along the way was a lesson too. If you’re open to it, failure is just another teacher—one that leaves stronger marks than success ever does.

The World Doesn’t Wait

Not long ago, technology seemed to change every few years. Then it sped up to months. Now it changes daily. Tomorrow it will be faster still. That’s why continuous learning isn’t optional—it’s survival. The moment you think you “know enough,” you’ve already started to fall behind. I often remind my teams about the Dunning-Kruger effect: the more you actually know, the more you realize how much is left to learn. That humility is the only way to keep pace with the world we’re building in.

Beyond Tech

Some of my most useful lessons haven’t come from technology at all. Psychology teaches me how people make choices. Economics explains how incentives shape behavior. Even architecture shows me how structure and flow can guide experience. The best ideas often appear when you cross disciplines. That’s why I keep looking outside my own field—because innovation rarely respects boundaries.
