Founder
Hi, I'm Lex Grezlak. At 19, I self-taught coding and became proficient in just 2 months, kickstarting my software engineering journey.
Despite facing numerous rejections initially, I didn't back down. I started with small freelancing tasks for $5, eventually landing a contract that paid $5/hour. Within the first month, I was earning $15/hour, often working over 80 hours per week.
Just 6 months in, I secured my first long-term job at $20/hour. In less than 18 months, I was earning $4,200 a month from a single freelance contract, enjoying generous paid time off, benefits, and low self-employment taxes. In less than 3 years, I received an offer of $45/hour, all while working remotely and being location-independent.
Now, I'm here to share the keys to success with ambitious individuals like you. The tech industry journey requires determination and resilience, but with our framework, you can bypass unnecessary struggles and gatekeepers.
