My story broken into stages (Last stage is AI 💪)... ① - Self taught (on the job) Full stack Javascript developer. Joined a high-tech ecom startup as 9th employee. I no life'd it as the CTO's right hand man to help grow it to around 40+ employees in 2 years. Helped lead engineering, hiring and proj. management efforts at 20yo. ② - Left dev job and then started 2 companies, one was a Shopify development firm with some partners and the other a music tech startup. At the firm I lead the development division and my team helped publicly traded companies and many small businesses with custom Shopify apps and themes. I did this for just 2 years until I left the firm because of founder differences. 👉 ③ THIS VIDEO - During 2020, I lead a dev teams for various unicorn tech startups and am super thankful I got to learn so much at the time. Again, put head down and worked hard to earn various public recommendations from execs at these tech unicorns (in product, engineering, etc.) ④ - I decided to settle down on the client work and take a director role building/leading a new growth department at different startup altogether. Again a high-tech ecom startup that had bootstrapped to low-8 figures annual rev. Company was doing $70m+ per year from a combination of various company wide efforts and the new growth department I had built in under 2years. ⑤ - NOW (2024): Running an AI dev shop and WORKING my way to the top. NEVER, letting my success get me too comfortable 🤖 When I started I had no degree, no CS background and was told I was a failure, repeatedly. I got that head of marketing/ecom role (growth) when people told me I wasn't a marketer. This story was not to brag. It was to inspire and motivate through showing whats possible! P.S. f**k the lies we are told holding us back about titles and requirements needed! 🚀

The irony is that it was this comment that pushed me over the threshold and into level 6: "I can teach you how to turn your $250 into $6,500 in 2hours without sending money to anyone or interrupting your daily activities and it's 100% legitimate and secure TEXT ME IF YOU ARE INTERESTED FOR MORE INFORM WITH THE DETAILS BELOW $$$$." Ah well.. for once it was useful 😂

Hey everyone, I just completed a new course for you: "Data Science Accelerator". This course will be unlocked, together with "Building Applications with LLMs" at level 3. How to level up? Just interact with the group, get likes and comments, and watch your level go up!

Hey everybody, new to the community here. I recently made a video which I think will be very helpful to anyone building with LLMs. Hopefully it's not frowned upon to share one's own content, and I don't plan on promoting my videos regularly – but thought this one would be valuable to the community. Hope you find it useful, and happy to answer any questions in the comments.
