“ideating, building fast, showcase, repeat. doing things that actually matter”
I'm Moksh Patel, a 16 year old ai enthusiast looking to get ahead for the future. Located in New Orleans. I care about building systems that actually solve a real problem and make life easier. Most of my week goes into learning ai and applying it in ways that make me efficient or making other efficient. Outside of that, I like to showcase my creativety - cinematography, music production and mixing music, pottery, and learning about space and creating artwork on it This site is basically my brain/personality - my interests, things I have built, how I think. This site represents me.
music procuction, cinematography, UI/UX design. working with ai, coding, financial analysis

>>>>>>> parent of 1e648e4 (Delete index.html)I kept seeing kids online making money doing side hustles and several gurus trying to sell me course. At that time, I was 13 years old, I really started to research ways to make money. Not to make money for myself but to make money so at least I can help out my family and provide value. We had a bunch and I meany a lot of extra furniture left around. I made it my initiative to sell all of this furniture. I did it all myself: taking hundereds of picture, talking to customers, endless negotiation, dealing with bad customers, EVERYTHING. In the end I made in total roughly $3,649 dollars. Making that money felt good. At 14, I decided to try new side hustles. I did organic dropshipping, affiliate marketing, website building. All of them failed miserably. I didn't really do a ton of side hustles because I knew most of them were fake and not worth the time. I also started a lofi channel. I loved lofi, I know music production, I can make good thumbnails and graphics. I grew that lofi channel to 100 subscribers. I did my marketing on TikTok which o grew that account to 30 followers. I wouldn't say that was a fail. I loved the process, seeing likes and comments, making the music. Even though I didn't make money, it taught me that everthing isn't about money. Genuinly enjoy the work you do. At 15, I tried to make my own SMMA business(Social Media Marketing Agency). I was going to lock in during summer break. I did all of my research prior to summer break. I made my first call on the second day of break. Why not the first day. Honestly, I was scared. I've never cold called before and it was my first time pitching. I couldn't get myself to dial the number. It took a lot of mental preperation. After that first call, I went wild. I gained that confidence. After 50 calls, I wasn't scared anymore. I called hundreds of business owner but I didn't get a client. I tried to keep going and tell myself that I will close a deal one day. It never happened. To this day, I still wonder if I would have gotten my first client if I stuck to it. Even if I didn't get a client, I still consder it a success. I learned a lot. I learned beginner leel sales, how to pitch people, marketing and running ads, making ad creatives, developing automated text and email systems. I enjoyed the process. I'm 16 now and I have shifted. I'm not worried about making money at this. I learned to not follow online personas and people showcasing their wealth. I proritize building useful sillsets and meeting people. I want to network and grow connection. Ultimatley thats what takes people further in the career. I am focusing on learning about startups and vc funds. My goal in the future is to be a founder of a startup with two other co-founders. I find the Silicon Valley fascinatingand how billions of dollars move through there. It's a big goal but I'm ready.

Here are some of my interests
things I do in my freetime
From a young age, I really liked music. It is a way for me to relax and feel good. In the future I want to make my own song or dj at a big event.

<<<<<<< HEAD I love making cinematic videos. I love colorgrading and documenting my life and places I got to. I always saw cinematic videos on social media and I thought I would try it out. I kinda just got hooked after making one video. ======= add a short bio here — how you got into shooting, what gear you use, what stories or styles you gravitate toward. replace this placeholder with your real story. >>>>>>> parent of 1e648e4 (Delete index.html)

the Incan citadel terraced into a ridge high in the Andes, wrapped in cloud forest with the peak of Huayna Picchu standing guard behind it. Want to hike the trail up and catch it as the morning fog burns off the ruins.
a lakeside town built right into the hillside — terracotta rooftops, a bell tower, cypress trees leaning over the water, mountains rising behind it. The kind of place worth slowing down in for a few days.
a bay where microorganisms in the water glow electric blue every time it's disturbed — kayaking through it at night under the stars, leaving a trail of light behind the paddle.
an active volcano, glowing lava streaking down its slope against a night sky full of stars, city lights scattered in the valley far below. Want to camp on the neighboring ridge and watch it erupt after dark.
the Treasury carved directly into sandstone cliffs, framed by the narrow canyon you walk through to reach it. An ancient city hidden in the rock — want to see the facade catch the light as it opens up in front of you.
the pyramids silhouetted at dusk, sunlight catching just the upper faces of the stone against a darkening sky. One of the oldest things you can still stand in front of.
<<<<<<< HEAD eventually, I want to be a founder at a startup — not alone, but with co-founders who push my thinking and cover the gaps I can't. Getting there means putting myself out there more: going to events, striking up conversations, staying in touch with people I find interesting instead of letting connections fade after one good talk. Building a real network isn't a side project, it's the groundwork the startup will actually stand on. Plan B: I want to study finance and get a job in corporate treasure. Being behind the system of the company an moving money around and making sure the company is stable. ======= eventually, I want to start a company — not alone, but with co-founders who push my thinking and cover the gaps I can't.
