Hey, I'm Bgo. I quit my 9 to 5 building someone else's dream. Now I help engineers build theirs.
Scroll, or walk me with the arrow keys or WASD. Space jumps.
Swipe up to walk me through my life. Tap to jump.
This is my story, from age 12 to now.
-
Age 12
The beginning
We packed up and moved from Armenia to the US.
I had to learn English. It was my third language.
New country, new culture. That's where my American Dream started.
-
Age 16
First lines of code
I joined my high school robotics team as sim and analysis lead, and team strategist.
I stayed after school every day to code and build. My first code was in MATLAB.
We won regionals for the first time in a decade. I've been chasing that feeling ever since.
-
Age 18
First CS class
My first CS class was intro to Java at community college.
It felt way too easy. I honestly thought I was a programming legend.
I loved hardware and software, so I went for computer engineering.
-
Age 19
NASA and UCLA
At UCLA I was a research engineer, studying consciousness and intelligence.
Then I landed an internship at NASA and got to visit the Armstrong Flight Research Center.
My first taste of corporate life. Honestly? I didn't enjoy it.
-
Age 20
Stacking wins
I started at UCSD and landed my first six-figure consulting job, working with Fortune 500 companies.
On the side I co-founded OtakuBru, an anime coffee brand, and launched InfernoSparkz. I felt on top of the world.
My day at 20 - 6:00 AM to 3:00 PM Working
- 3:30 PM to 8:30 PM Classes
- 9:00 PM to 10:30 PM Exercising
- 10:30 PM to 12:00 AM Ecom
- 12:00 AM to 6:00 AM Sleeping
-
Age 21
Graduated
I graduated with my B.S. in Electrical and Computer Engineering.
At work I made senior in 8 months, before I'd even graduated.
But every day I prayed I wouldn't get stuck in a 9 to 5.
-
Age 22
How the mighty have fallen
My lighter manufacturer scammed me. I lost nearly $17K, plus over $130K in unrealized gains.
OtakuBru got shut down over copyright. Work kept promoting me, but my confidence kept sinking.
ChatGPT launched on Nov 30, 2022, my birthday. I took it as a sign, quit my 9 to 5 and started AB Analytics.
-
Age 23
Light at the end of the tunnel
No Plan B. Down to my last $258, I landed my first client for $16,000.
Then it snowballed: my first six-figure deal, 8 full-time employees, 7 figures in ARR.
I even got invited to dinner with a U.S. President.
Bank balance: $258. Then my first client: $16,000.
-
Age 24
Gratitude and conquest
I grew the team too fast, and my margins collapsed.
So I rebuilt everything lean, around AI. For the first time, I felt truly free.
That's when I started Code To CEO, to help engineers make the same move I made.
-
Age 25
Scaling and ascension
Dozens of engineers have used CTC to leave their 9 to 5. On average they land a first client in about 47 days.
Two of our founders became millionaires in a single year. I hosted our third mastermind at the Four Seasons Otemachi in Tokyo.
I passed 45,000 YouTube subscribers, became a Claude Community Ambassador, and took AB Analytics into the UAE with G1 Analytics.
Your turn
At 22, I hit this fork. Stay in the 9 to 5, or bet on myself. Where are you standing?
