IT projects by day. Building my own things at night. Into tech, healthy habits, family time, and seeing more of the world. Sharing what I learn along the way.

I’m a 51 years old dad with a 9 to 5 working in IT.
On the side, I make app and digital assets so I could retire early and build a passive income for retirement.
I also do this to keep my brain active, creative and healthy.
AI allows me to accelerate this. Feels like a second chance.
I’m not not going to miss this opportunity.
If we’re not connected already …
leave a comment and let me know why should I follow you back

How to build a side hustle without making the rest of your life miserable.
(over 40 edition)
- Keep your 9–5. It's much easier to build something when you're not worried about paying next month's bills.
- Stop looking for million-dollar ideas. A small product making $500/month is already more than most people have built.
- Build things you actually understand. You don't need to invent a new industry.
- Don't start a business that requires you to be available 24/7. You already have a job.
- Learn to code with AI. You don't get extra points for doing everything yourself.
- Don't spend three months choosing your tech stack. Nobody cares.
- Launch before you're comfortable. Your first version probably won't get enough attention for anyone to notice the imperfections.
- Stop comparing yourself to 22-year-olds building startups in their bedrooms. Different life, different responsibilities.
- Don't turn every hobby into a business. You're allowed to enjoy things without monetizing them.
- Build assets, not another job. The goal is to eventually own something that works when you're not working.
- Don't quit because your first product failed. You've probably spent more money on things that taught you less.

if steve jobs saw you reserving 15% screen width for a single icon and then putting a left side arrow back button on the unreachable right side of the screen he would've personally taken you behind a dumpster and beat you with a metal pipe

I'm in love with this sentence:
“If you can overthink the worst why can't you overthink the best.”
