My Journey

The story of how a teenage gamer built Lebanon's largest tech education platform

Mike's Early Gaming Days

The YouTube Dream

At 16, while most teenagers were figuring out their high school life, I was dreaming bigger. Armed with nothing but a basic PC and an unstoppable drive, I launched my YouTube channel "Bad Mike". What started as a passion for gaming would soon become the foundation of my entrepreneurial journey.

🎮 Gaming Channel Milestones:

  • •Viral Hits: More than 6 million views total
  • •Community Growth: Built a dedicated gaming community
  • •Ranked: Among the Top 100 in YouTube Channels in Lebanon in 2016
USJ University Campus

The University Challenge

Enrolling in Computer Science at USJ marked the beginning of my biggest challenge. With annual fees around $15,000, and limited financial support available, I had to find a way to fund my education independently.

Through a combination of YouTube revenue, Instagram marketing, and various online ventures, I managed to pay my entire university fees. This experience taught me invaluable lessons about digital entrepreneurship.

💰 Financial Independence Achievement:

  • •Monthly Income: Generated $7,500+ through affiliate marketing
  • •Multiple Streams: YouTube, Instagram, and affiliate partnerships
  • •Self-Funded: Paid entire university education independently

From Graduate to Developer

After graduation, I faced a harsh reality: theoretical knowledge wasn't enough. Despite having a degree, I lacked practical experience. This motivated me to dive deep into modern web development, learning technologies that would later become the foundation of my tech ventures.
