My Story

My Story

From technology to business, from content creation to global markets — my journey has always been driven by curiosity, discipline, and the desire to build something meaningful. I’ve grown up between cameras, computers, and real-world business environments, developing a passion not only for creating high-quality tech content, but also for understanding how companies operate, how markets move, and how ideas turn into successful ventures. Today, my focus stands at the intersection of technology, business strategy, and global finance — the place where innovation meets opportunity.

I was lucky to grow up surrounded by technology. My family runs a business — mostly focused on Apple products — and I was instantly fascinated. I still remember my very first internet search at just 4 years old, watching YouTube videos and diving into Apple events, Steve Jobs keynotes, and product reviews.

By the time I was 6, I was spending hours next to my uncle, who taught me Adobe Photoshop. I would save hundreds of images a day, experiment with edits, and let my curiosity guide me until I learned it. At exactly 7 years old, I began creating tech unboxings and reviews. Of course, I wasn’t a professional — I was a kid — but that meant my reviews were honest and genuine. I learned to edit those first videos in Final Cut, later moving to Premiere Pro around 12–13.

Over the years, I explored 3D design, tried NFTs, and kept making YouTube videos — sometimes about tech, sometimes about interesting places in Albania, often mixing in fun thumbnails and the quirks of my younger self. I started attending more and more tech events in Albania, deepening my connection with the community.

Now, I host my own tech show — Top Tech on Top Albania Radio — while continuing to make high-quality YouTube videos. Technology has always fascinated me, and my goal is to create endless content that’s both understandable in Albanian and produced to the highest standard.

I work across most of the Adobe suite, DaVinci Resolve, Blender, and I’ve been passionate about photography since I was 14. From concept to filming, editing, and publishing across every platform possible — I handle it all, driven by one mission: to share my love for technology with the world.

Over time, my interests expanded beyond tech. I became increasingly passionate about business, finance, and global markets — following the work, culture, and mindset of institutions like JP Morgan, Goldman Sachs, and Morgan Stanley. Understanding how companies grow, how markets move, and how great organizations operate has shaped my curiosity even more. I enjoy studying strategic decision-making, market cycles, long-term value creation, and the kind of thinking that builds meaningful businesses.

My long-term goal is simple:
To create companies that matter, build successful startups, and make an impact that goes beyond myself. I want to contribute something valuable to the world — through technology, through business, and through the ideas I bring to life. Success for me isn’t just a destination; it’s the continuous process of building, learning, improving, and creating opportunities for others.
