Hope to build things that last

Freelancing through university meant re-introducing myself with every new client — explaining what I'd built, what I could do, over and over. Later, three months at DINQ, a product built around finding and presenting people, pointed to the same thing. A presence on the internet reduces friction. Send one link instead of explaining yourself from scratch. By the time someone reaches out, they already know who you are — the first meeting skips the introduction and gets to the point.
