Who I am

Hello! I'm Patrik, a 20-year-old tech enthusiast and aspiring entrepreneur. My journey began in Russia, but in 2007, I moved to the United States, where I spent my formative years until 2015. Afterward, I returned to Russia to finish high school, graduating in 2022. During those years, I frequently traveled between the US and Russia, indulging in vacations and brief educational stints.

In May 2021, I moved to Tampa, Florida, to study at a local college. There, I discovered my passion for building and improving online communities. My first significant opportunity came when I revamped my college’s official Discord server, impressing a fellow student who introduced me to an NFT firm. This led to my first paid gig, which sparked the idea of offering my services more broadly. I launched my first website and reached out to over 200 potential clients, securing my first major project with Desperate ApeWives, which turned into a long-term collaboration.

Throughout my entrepreneurial journey, I developed a wide range of skills. I built and managed over 50 servers for clients worldwide, refined my knowledge in Python, Discord API, HTML, and JavaScript, and learned the intricacies of team management and business operations. Despite the eventual downturn in the crypto market, which led me to close my business in May 2024, the experience was invaluable.

In July 2023, I teamed up with friends to create a social media helper tool. Although the project didn't take off, it taught me crucial lessons in team management from an owner's perspective. Now, I'm focused on completing my Associate of Arts in Accounting and exploring opportunities in the financial industry. I'm brimming with business ideas and am eager to dive into new ventures when the right moment arrives.

On a personal note, I've traveled extensively with my family, visiting countries like Canada, Mexico, Finland, Iceland, Germany, and many more. These travels have enriched my understanding of diverse cultures and lifestyles. Additionally, in August 2023, I took up ballroom dancing (Latin and Standard) and have won a couple of gold medals in local competitions. I have a deep knowledge of various dances, with a personal love for Rumba and Samba. Since the age of five, I have also been passionate about ice hockey and swimming, winning medals in both sports and continuing to enjoy them to this day.

I'm passionate about leveraging my tech skills and global experiences to create innovative solutions and look forward to the exciting opportunities ahead.
