The next thing that happened was that I built my first website. It was one of the first 1,000 websites in human history, at a time when only 300 web developers existed on planet Earth! The next thing I did was an HTML course for our staff, and soon after, I opened my first web company. In 1996 (before Google), I developed a multi-language search engine and in 1999, I sold it for a good amount of money. Since then, I’ve been leading international-scale projects, startups, and entrepreneurs while inventing new things.
