Well...this is how:

It was 1997, I just landed in San Francisco as a fresh new commercial Architect/Designer... and I was just starting coding in my spare time.

I got lots of contracts designing new .com Startup and was invited to there "opening" parties. At one of the party, someone asked me a question that will change the course of my life.

<<are you going to invest in our coming IPO?>> IPO... what the hell is this ??? I said...

A few days later, I came across an article about how Miami was fighting crime using a Pattern Recognition Software. And I thought I could apply the same kind of software onto the Stock Market... and this is how I found my passion.
