Every person has a unique journey, full of challenges, lessons, and dreams. This is my story — the journey from a curious student to the Founder of Stackobea Technologies.
Early Curiosity
My tech journey began in school, around my 10th standard. I was fascinated by computers and the idea of creating something on the internet. I started learning the basics of HTML, CSS, and jQuery, and even built my first personal website.
Excited, I hosted it on a free hosting platform. But soon, some of my classmates hacked it. Instead of giving up, that experience taught me resilience. I learned how to protect my hosting accounts and kept pushing forward.
Learning & Building
Moving ahead, I explored backend development in PHP. During my degree, I released my first social networking platform called ShareJoy. Like any beginner project, it had many vulnerabilities, but fixing them taught me valuable lessons.
While building ShareJoy, I learned how to develop core features like chat systems, profiles, friend requests, follows, authentication, and more. These experiences inspired me to dive deeper into development.
The Shift to Mobile
As smartphones grew, I realized that people preferred mobile apps over web platforms. To adapt, I started learning Java and Android development, beginning with simple WebView apps and gradually moving to full native apps.
By the end of my degree, I had built and published a stable mobile app version of my social network. While it wasn’t a big success due to poor user experience, it was a turning point for me. I discovered the importance of UI/UX design.
Togofine: A New Beginning
During my post-graduation, I launched another social networking platform called Togofine, this time with better design and usability. It gained quick popularity in my college, and many students started using it.
However, because it was hosted on shared hosting, the servers couldn’t handle the traffic. This pushed me to learn about cloud platforms like AWS and Google Cloud, which became a big step in my career.
Growing as a Developer
After completing my studies, I started my career as a Full-Stack Developer, creating APIs and building scalable solutions. Later, I switched fully into mobile development, which became my passion.
I wasn’t the best in academics, but with persistence, guidance from colleagues, and the grace of God, I kept growing. I worked in different organizations, learned from every project, and shaped my career step by step.
The Dream of Founding a Company
My dream was always to build something bigger — a company that could provide powerful technologies and shape the future. This dream became Stackobea.
Stackobea is built with the vision to transform ideas into digital reality, focusing on AI/ML, web, and mobile technologies. Along this journey, I also launched Forge, a platform to help passionate developers build and learn through real projects.
Lessons Learned
Throughout my journey, I faced many struggles:
- Lack of support from people around me.
- Doubts, failures, and setbacks.
- Projects that didn’t succeed.
But I learned one important thing: never stop learning and never stop chasing your dream. Success doesn’t come overnight — it comes with persistence, patience, and faith.
Moving Forward
Today, as the Founder & CEO of Stackobea, I am still learning, still building, and still chasing dreams. The mission is clear:
👉 To create impactful technology solutions.
👉 To inspire other developers.
👉 To transform ideas into digital reality.
Life is full of surprises and challenges, but if we keep pushing forward, anything is possible.
