Hi there! 👋
If you’re a tech enthusiast, software engineer, architect, or someone curious about startups and the tech world, you’re in the right place. Welcome to LaunchCrafted!
I’ve been working in the tech industry for the past 8-9 years, and during this time, I’ve worn many hats: backend engineer, cloud engineer, team lead, and even startup founder. Along the way, I’ve faced plenty of challenges, learned a lot, and grown both professionally and personally.
This newsletter is my way of sharing those lessons with you—whether you’re building your first app, leading a team, or just trying to navigate the ever-changing tech world.
A Quick Intro: My Story
A few years into my tech career, I decided to start my own company. I launched a startup that became one of the most loved mobile apps in my home country. For 4-5 years, I poured my heart into that project, learning everything from:
Team leading and building a great product,
Backend and mobile development,
Software architecture design,
Scrum mastering and managing workflows,
Marketing and B2B negotiations,
And much more!
Eventually, I handed the startup over to another company (it wasn’t a typical sale, but let’s call it that for simplicity). Around that time, I decided to move to a place with better opportunities and a stronger economy.
Now, I live and work in the Isle of Man, part of the United Kingdom. I’ve been focusing on backend development, cloud engineering, and occasionally leading teams.
Why LaunchCrafted?
A few months ago, I started a YouTube channel to share my knowledge about tech and startups. While I enjoyed it, I realized that creating videos is incredibly time-consuming. Writing, on the other hand, feels much more natural to me.
That’s why I decided to launch this newsletter. Here, I can share my thoughts, guides, and experiences without worrying about lights, cameras, or editing.
With LaunchCrafted, my goal is simple:
To provide practical, actionable insights for anyone interested in tech or startups.
What to Expect
Here’s what I plan to write about:
Tech guides: Tips on cloud configuration, software development, productivity, and more.
Startup challenges: Lessons I’ve learned from running a startup, from handling B2B negotiations to marketing strategies.
Industry insights: My thoughts on trends and challenges in tech and startups.
I’ll aim to keep things simple and beginner-friendly while still providing value for experienced readers.
This newsletter is for everyone who wants to learn, grow, and navigate the exciting world of tech and startups.
