My Journey
My journey began as a concrete labourer, where I faced long, strenuous days earning a miserable wage. There were moments, sitting in my work van where I felt hopeless and a deep sense of being meant for something more.This experience, though tough, instilled in me the value of hard work and the pursuit of greater aspirations. Seeking a change, I ventured to Vietnam, immersing myself in a new culture, learning a new language, and the fulfilling role of teaching English. It was in Vietnam that my passion and skill for coaching and helping others became evident. But alongside this rewarding experience, I recognized the need for a sustainable, financially rewarding career as my 30s appeared on the horizon.This realization led me to the world of technology. In every spare moment, I began to teach myself coding, dedicating my free time to learning and growing in this new, promising field. It was a journey from physical labor to digital creation, driven by self-teaching and an unwavering commitment to change my life’s trajectory.
