I work actually corporate during the day. I work in IT and healthcare. And then after my day job, I do content creating. So I'm an Instagram content creator, Instagrammer, TikToker. And yeah, that's basically my life now. I just make videos, creatively on the side. That's it, man. My main job is IT and healthcare. Content creating started during like covid, you know, when we were all inside it in the house and everyone's on TikTok. I started making little corny TikTok.

You know, we all growing up, we all went to like, while I'm speaking for myself, like growing up where I'm from, everyone I'm friends with all just went to college and we just had our majors and like all that. So that's how I got into IT. It's good. It's good. I like it. It makes good money and it's a good work life balance, I would say.

It took years of me making videos just to establish myself, to become a content creator. For me, just to have nice network and somehow get into the right room, it's a long journey, it's not just attainable like that, and that's basically was, what was the premise of it to just follow your dreams and never give up, something along the lines of that. I'm still brainstorming, but yeah, like, it's good, it's really good to be vulnerable, vulnerable and transparent. Look, that's what I'm saying. That video I wanted to make is like, “How did this Asian boy from Staten Island get to New York Fashion Week?” Because, When you think of Staten Island, you don't think of Asians, you think of Italians. So it's like, “Oh, how did I get in?” So it's like a very specific niche, but it's like, “how did I get here?” I think growing up, I've always had, I didn't have many Asian friends growing up since I live in Staten Island, mostly Italians and Hispanics, so, grew up, that's more the culture that has influenced me. But also, I think I'm also a type of Asian where, like, like, I'm still Asian, I'm not your conventional super ABC Asian, but I'm, you know, I'm still part of the community. And it's good to represent there's different types of Asians out there, you know, In general.

My style is, I would say kind of street wear, But I always love cyber, little quirky things that I do. I love cyber futuristic sunglasses like a good thing we're doing right now. We're looking, you know alien like. But then I always wear, like right now during the winter, I have a lot of like puffer jackets. I would say, I want to get more into fashion, like get into like actually dressing instead of just wearing normal clothes, like most of the time my clothes are mostly just sweaters and coats and stuff, but I want to get into very interesting, funky art pieces, wearing art pieces on myself. I love this futuristic aspect, I love the dystopian Aesthetic. So that's part of what i'm drawn to in fashion. Naturally, I like the very cool looking sunglasses and the oversized. Art pieces like different silhouettes, I like to play with.

I think because I think it also plays into the fact that I work in tech. Like, I'm working computers. So I love seeing how our world is progressing. And like, just the futuristic aspect of it, just being ahead of the time. For example, my graduation, I recorded it with my 360 camera, and then I watched it in my Oculus VR headsets, you can watch my graduation in 360. I am just dabbling into being ahead of like everybody. I'm just trying to own the fact that we are in the 2020s right now, and most people thought of this time back in the day, like “Oh 2020 is so futuristic.” I'm like embracing, like bring me the Apple vision pros, I want to embrace the futuristic aspect of it. We are living in the future, so that's why I like that whole aesthetic to it, like cyberpunk and like that futuristic look. For me, I think it's pretty cool. I think, you never really think about it because we just kind of grew up into it. We grew up as kids, playing in the field. Like, no technology, phones. And then we grew up with Apple when it started. So we saw the evolution of it. Kind of cool to see it, you never really take a step back to think about it, like, “Oh wow, this is the world we live in now”, for me, I take the time to really think about that. I'm like, wow, like, this is pretty cool. I'm not really scared of it. I'm kind of here for it. Even in 2020, VR is going to be the future, and like, can you imagine what it's going to be like in a couple of years now? Look, Apple just came out with the augmented reality, like VR, which is sick. I'm telling you, it's going to progress from there. I think people are jumping on it. I see like a lot of celebrities doing VR shows and stuff and it makes sense. There's a whole world within itself, like the VR.

I've always liked computers growing up. I play the computers growing up, just working a computer like, putting an external hard drive in, and downloading music, saving files, and stuff. It's like, basic computer functions that I learned, as a kid, when I was like, 5 years old, 9 years old, playing the computer, doing stuff like that. My dad, he likes computers. He's into the techy stuff. I've always been more tech savvy I like using Windows and playing around with it, having hard drives, and little tech stuff that I just knew growing up and never thought about it. But then when one day in high school, I went to my guidance counselor to look for like a career in college. She's like, you should get into tech. I'm like, “yeah.” So I tried, I did that in college. I actually liked it. It's not computer science. So I hate coding. Coding is not my thing. But IT is more like the hardware aspect, like internet, networks, and like systems, but not coding coding. I hate coding. That's not for me. Yeah, coding takes too much time. So right now, when you are entry level in it, like you start as an help desk. You do it for a couple years help desk is basically just taking tickets and like just doing basic like “Oh, help this doctor will fix this computer and stuff.” That's like, baseline for all IT techs. You have to get into that. And then, I'm working on my certification right now. From there, you could branch into other niches. So like, systems and networks, cyber security and stuff like that. It branches out from there. So, right now, I'm at help desk. I'm about to figure out where my branch is in IT. But, I'm still, taking it slow.

Fun part? I think just learning how things that affect your day to day life, for example, your internet, your wifi, like, what's the back end of that, or the wire, like when you go to someone's house and you look at their router, you're like, “oh, there's so many wires, like, cool.” I want to see how it impacts the world, especially working in tech, this is all new. For me, I'm like, “oh, that's an ethernet cable”, like, “that's the router, that's the modem”, it's cool to see how it affects your real life. When the internet goes down, you can do basic troubleshooting as an IT. Like, I can do that because I know how to do it, how to set up your house a certain way because you know IT stuff now. I think it's, it's interesting that it relates to your everyday life and it helps.

Wearing those futuristic cyber kind of street style, I think I started actually during COVID. I think I also got the Oculus headset. I just always liked the cyberpunk aesthetic to it.
