On paper, this was a fact on December 17th, 2007. I am the proud owner of a sole-member LLC through the state of Delaware.

But now, after having thought about it for about a month, it really really hit me: I own a company. After months and months of reading and learning… I did it.

But enough of resting on my laurels (I did so about 5 seconds)… I have taxes to worry about. I have costs and profits (no profits yet, but hopefully profits more so than costs in the future) to project. I might soon be having actual employees, to whom I will pay nothing because I have nothing to give them: Just baskets of hope, and an awesome rollercoaster ride of a good time.

Heck, I might end up founding yet another company with the project I’m working on.

What Do You Do?

“Internet Application Development” is what I told Uncle Sam.

No, I’m not just going to “manage”. But alas, I love the business side. I love the numbers, the rules, the forms… it’s like a perfectionist’s dream.

At the same time, I love the art of programming… of diving deep into the sea of code, manipulating the bits, the lines of code to get something useful out of the electrons.

Basically, my goal is to be the ultimate technical manager possible. Tech first, than manager. This is extremely important to me.

Yes, I’m sure you know that we’re working on a project. But in case that doesn’t go well, there are other things coming in the pipeline for HanMeta. For one, I hope to start up another blog with more of a web development/business focus… not so technical as I get here with some of the nerdier things, but maybe even a chronicle of how things are coming along at HanMeta. Another, maybe possibly restart that freelancing/consulting side of my life I stopped a couple months back.

So What?

The reason why I write this is because I needed a summary of the situation for me. I was having a real hard time dealing with how I should continue with the project HanMeta is working on. I was so caught up with the roadblocks of keeping the company aligned with the rules and regulations of this fine country to realize a little too late (or maybe it was just the right moment…?) that I need to get back to programming.

With this blog post, I hope to cement the title of this entry in my head.

I am Founder. I am CEO. I am Developer.

Now time to be one.
