How did Adrian get started?

Adrian’s words from a 2019 interview:

I graduated from Electronics and Telecommunications Engineering, specializing in Multimedia. An analytical person at heart, I started writing code in 9th grade and quickly fell in love with it.

My WordPress journey began around 10 years ago when I teamed up with Cristian and decided to start a web development agency. Due to its simplicity, WordPress became our main focus quickly. The things we learned were shared on our Cozmoslabs blog, which eventually became the platform for launching all our WordPress related products.

So they started out as an agency and later shifted into creating and selling their own products.
