My name is Fabian Frank Werner. I have 2 years of experience in the technology industry and 5 years in business. I reached a net worth of $25,000 at age 18. I’ve started 3 companies: an e-commerce store, a productized service agency, and now I'm building my brand online. Since this is a TH-cam channel and anyone can claim anything, I’ll provide some verifiable information below.
15 years old (July 2019) - I took a student internship at Sumitomo (SHI) Demag, where I was involved in computer science, mechatronics, and product design. I participated in completing an injection molding machine.
15 years old (December 2019) - I launched Archivum, an e-commerce store, through which I earned my first $10,000 online. I used social media marketing (mainly short-form content) to drive sales. I developed standard operating procedures and built spreadsheets for finance, order, and product tracking. I also sourced reliable suppliers to ensure fast delivery times.
16 years old (July 2020) - I took a mini-job at EDEKA.
16 years old (March 2021) - I quit my mini-job at EDEKA.
17 years old (August 2021) - I took a summer internship at s.Oliver, where I was involved in computer science, management, and fashion design. I participated in completing the Fall/Winter 2021-2022 collection.
18 years old (July 2022) - I graduated from Geschwister-Scholl-Gymnasium Röthenbach with my Abitur, having Maths, German, English, Geography, and Art as my examination subjects.
18 years old (October 2022) - I started studying for a bachelor’s degree in e-commerce at the Technical University of Applied Sciences Würzburg-Schweinfurt.
18 years old (November 2022) - I took a working student job in Sales at Infosim. I prepared, programmed, and implemented automated data preparation using Excel’s Visual Basic for Applications, which facilitated faster operations between departments. This improvement allowed Sales to drive more revenue by enhancing oversight. I reported directly to the CEO and was responsible for designing and developing standard client operations that provide comprehensive transparency of the current client state. Sales used this information in their decision-making processes, such as creating offers and upselling.
18 years old (March 2023) - I started building my brand online by publishing free content. I taught myself to use high-end audio, video, and editing equipment.
18 years old (May 2023) - I was awarded a certificate from Cambridge for completing Harvard’s CS50x Course, having submitted ten problem sets, nine labs, and one final project. The program has a pass rate of 0.9%.
19 years old (September 2023) - I launched WeStreamlineYou, a productized service agency built on multiple technologies including Framer, Stripe, Notion, and Zapier. I hosted the website with Hostinger and set up email routing with Cloudflare. I programmed a low-code, artificial intelligence-powered customer support chatbot using StackAI and Botpress. Additionally, I implemented asynchronous client communication and offered unlimited free revisions until each project reached perfection. I was awarded a certificate from Notion for mastering all Notion features and best practices, earning the Notion Essentials badge.
19 years old (November 2023) - I was awarded a certificate from ICS e.V. in recognition of my above-average performance (top 20% of students) and commitment to my studies in the e-commerce (Bachelor) program at the University of Applied Sciences Würzburg-Schweinfurt. I was promoted to Junior Sales Support at Infosim. I evaluated, pitched, and implemented a new Customer Relationship Management System.
19 years old (June 2024) - I resigned from my Junior Sales Support position at Infosim and simultaneously shut down my e-commerce store (Archivum) and my productized service agency (WeStreamlineYou) to fully focus on creating free content.
