My Journey — Richard Golian

My Journey

I was born in 1995 in Banská Bystrica, Slovakia. Already in elementary school, I built my first website — mostly for fun, with a handful of users. It was something between a forum and what social networks later became, and it’s where I learned the basics of programming. I later attended a Spanish–Slovak bilingual high school. Between 2016 and 2022, I studied politics, international relations, philosophy and phenomenology at Charles University. Since 2016, I’ve been working in marketing, focusing on data, performance and analytics. In 2022, I started investing. In 2025, I began restoring our family’s real estate.
