My Journey Through Tech

I was born in July ‘77, and my lucky sevens have followed me ever since. Looking back, it feels like my whole life has been tied to one long story of technology changing right in front of me—and me changing along with it.

I still remember my first encounters with computers in elementary school. They were simple classes, just a few lines of code on glowing black screens, but for me it felt like opening a secret door. Then came the ZX Spectrum, Commodore, Atari. Anyone who was there knows the sound—the screech of a cassette tape loading a game, followed years later by the metallic song of a modem dialing into the internet. Each sound was a promise, and just as often a disappointment, because half the time it didn’t work. But that was part of the thrill.

Back then, copying tapes was its own economy. If you had the right friends and a double-deck tape recorder, you were rich—in games, at least. Nobody talked about copyrights, nobody cared. We just wanted to play, explore, and see what these strange new machines could do.

As the years went on, the machines grew up and so did I. From PCs to Apple, from clunky local software to the first cloud tools. By then I was already building—SaaS products, e-commerce, cloud solutions. It felt modern, but compared to what was coming, it was just a warm-up.

The real turning point came in July 2015, when Ethereum went live. I already had a room full of Antminers heating my office as they worked away at Bitcoin. But Ethereum was something else. It wasn’t just about coins, it was a platform, a playground for developers. I knew immediately this was the next big leap. From that moment on, blockchain wasn’t just a curiosity—it became the core of my work.

I built data centers. I wrote my first smart contracts. I experimented with dApps long before most people even knew the term. And eventually all those experiments came together in my biggest creation so far: mOne, a non-custodial super-app that brings wallets, mini-apps, social tools, and now AI agents into one place. For me, it’s the natural continuation of everything that started with those cassette tapes.

Somewhere along the way, I also found myself on stage. Berlin, Baku, Warsaw, Dubai, Buenos Aires—I’ve spoken at conferences, panels, and meetups, sharing what I’ve learned and, more importantly, sharing the sense of wonder that comes with being part of this constant transformation. I’ve never thought of those talks as lectures. To me, they’re conversations—just like products are conversations—between where technology can go and where people want to be.

And now? Now we’re in the age of LLMs and AI agents. The machines are no longer just tools we program—they’re starting to talk back, to reason, to act on their own. I don’t lose sleep over that because I’m worried. I lose sleep because I can’t stop thinking about the possibilities.

When I look at the arc of my life—from the ZX Spectrum to blockchain economies with autonomous agents—I see one unbroken story. Technology never stood still, and neither did I.
