This is the story behind Kala — how I built a platform from scratch while balancing my full-time role as an actuarial analyst and teaching myself tech tools. I’ll share the messy middle: juggling uncertainty, imposter syndrome, burnout, and bold pivots. You’ll hear how I turned a side idea into something real, while learning to lead with purpose, community, and data.

This session is for anyone who's ever asked, “Where do I even begin?” and kept building anyway.
