Honest answer? I wanted to build things I was proud of - and I wasn't always able to do that working for someone else.
When you run your own company, every product that ships has your name on it. Every client relationship reflects your values. Every engineer you hire becomes part of the culture you're responsible for.
It's terrifying and it's the best decision I've ever made.
10+ years later, I lead a team of 20+ engineers building real products for clients around the world. We've made mistakes. We've learned from every one. We've grown.
If you're an engineer who dreams of starting something - don't wait for the perfect moment. There isn't one.
Start small. Do good work. The rest follows.
