Jimmy grew up in poverty, with his mom leaving and his dad struggling with schizophrenia. From age 12, he was given a small weekly allowance for food. Computers became his escape, leading him to teaching himself Linux, coding, and other tech skills through free online resources like tutorials, forums, and open-source software. Despite the hardships, the kindness of strangers who openly shared their knowledge online provided Jimmy with the education and confidence to succeed, ultimately enabling him to escape poverty through his self-taught tech skills. He expresses profound gratitude for the impact these online contributors had on his life.
