I wasn’t a programmer. I didn’t build apps. I didn’t write code.

My path here was... different.

I was born in Russia, but moved to South Korea at 20, forced by political circumstances. For four years, I worked in greenhouses, on construction sites, in factories — I even dismantled mattresses for a living.

Later, I crossed the border from Mexico into the U.S. and applied for asylum. I worked in wardrobe assembly in New York, as a handyman in Chicago, and eventually as a cell tower technician — sometimes hanging 100 feet above the ground.

And then... five months ago, everything changed.

With zero programming background, I started building an AI memory system — one that helps language models think longer, remember better, and act smarter.

This is my story.
