Your path of becoming today's you

I was talking to several people on Product Hunt, and it's turned out many have curious stories about how they decided to create their own products and come here. I'll be happy to read your stories too. For example, my one (use the same format if you wish): 1️⃣ Got bachelor's and master's degrees in Petroleum Engineering. 2️⃣ Worked for 2 years as a Drilling Engineer and a manager later. 3️⃣ Started my Project Manager career in IT. 4️⃣ Studied AI for 3 years. 5️⃣ Decided to create my own product.
