They Said I'd Be a Statistic
I Chose a Symphony Instead π₯
From flatlined dreams to $125M+ orchestrated reality. This is what happens when you weaponize survival into service.
The Gauntlet Run
Year 17
The First Strike
Senior year derailed. Major car accident. Wide open exploratory laparotomy. Purdue Pharma's opioid trap springs shut. The system wrote me off.
Plot twist: I'm writing back. In code. π
2011
The Disney Pivot
No diploma. Baby on the way. Waiting tables at night. Built the first iPad restaurant menu system. Deployed to Disney on a Verizon hotspot.
They said "impossible." Disney said "deployed." π°
10 Years
The Cardiac Crucible
Right Ventricular Dysplasia. 3 million PVCs/year. 1400+ VT runs. 7 ablation attempts. 2 cancelled in pre-op. 4 that got me through it. 1 that changed the game. 3 ICD shocks. Heart trying to kill me while I'm trying to build.
Built anyway. Shipped anyway. Survived anyway.
Supporting hundreds of cardiac warriors daily. We don't quit. π
Dec 2024
Resurrection
Farapulse. Experimental ventricular ablation. Homeostasis restored.
They gave me my heart back. I'm using it to change the world. β‘
Weaponized Survival = Unstoppable Execution
Pattern Recognition
- β‘Spotted iPad revolution (2011)
- β‘Identified AI transformation early (2024)
- β‘See exploitation before it strikes
Calm Under Fire
- π₯3 ICD shocks? Still shipping
- π₯Disney deployment on hotspot? Done
- π₯Build $500K platform in 72hrs? Child's play
The Mission: Never Let Them Make You a Statistic
Purdue Pharma tried to make me an addiction statistic.
I became a recovery warrior instead.
The education system said I'd amount to nothing.
I built Disney-deployed innovation instead.
Cardiac disease tried to flatline my dreams.
I orchestrated $125M+ in value instead.
Now I build ethical AI empires that protect the vulnerable.
Because I've been vulnerable. And I survived.
Statistics They Didn't Expect
They Wanted a Statistic. They Got a Revolution.
Every line of code is a nod to the systems that tried to break me. Still here.
Every ethical feature is protection for someone else's journey.
