Why I left my job to start my own company

Starting your own company is one of the biggest decisions you can make in your career. Here's my journey and the reasons behind my decision to leave my stable job and venture into entrepreneurship.

The Decision

After years of working in traditional corporate environments, I found myself increasingly drawn to the idea of building something from the ground up. The tipping point came when I realized that my passion for creating robust, production-ready solutions aligned perfectly with the growing demand for reliable software systems.

Building for the Future

At Grayhaven Development, I focus on creating applications that "let me sleep at night" - systems that are built to last, scale, and perform reliably under pressure. This philosophy drives every project I take on.

Lessons Learned

The journey hasn't been easy, but it's been incredibly rewarding. Here are some key lessons:

• Systems thinking is crucial - Every decision impacts the whole
• Quality over quantity - Better to build fewer things well than many things poorly
• Community matters - Surrounding yourself with other builders and entrepreneurs is invaluable

What's Next

The future is bright, and I'm excited to continue building solutions that make a real difference in people's work and lives.
