My First Freelancing Pay from Fiverr!
When I started freelancing in 2019, I wondered, “Is this real or just another scam?” Can someone from Pakistan earn dollars?
But in Feb 2020, everything changed. I made my first-ever Fiverr withdrawal—just $32—and that moment was life-changing! It wasn’t just about the money; it was proof that freelancing is real and a path to success.
That first earning filled me with happiness and strengthened my ambition to build a career and change my family’s life. The journey wasn’t easy. I lost my Level badge twice, but I never gave up.
Today, I’m a Level 2 Seller again and a Trainer at S.M.I.T (Saylani Mass I.T Training), helping others build their freelancing careers in graphic design.
I’m still learning, growing, and looking for new opportunities and exciting projects.
To all freelancers starting: If you’re doubting yourself, keep going. Your first dollar is just the beginning of something much bigger!

Early Life and Education
Jensen Huang was born in Taiwan in 1963. He split his childhood between Taiwan and Thailand before his parents sent him—along with his brother — to the United States to live with an uncle in Tacoma, Wash. Huang later went on to Oneida Baptist Institute in Kentucky. His family moved to Oregon after his parents immigrated to the US, and Huang completed high school at the age of 16.
Huang received a bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering from Oregon State University and a master’s in electrical engineering from Stanford University. Notably, he spent the summer working at 15, washing dishes, bussing tables, and serving customers at a Denny’s in Portland — an impartial early lesson on the value of hard work that would later pay off.
Before establishing Nvidia, Huang cut his teeth at some of the biggest names in tech. He spent 1984 to 1985 at Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) and then from 1985 to 1993 at LSI Logic, learning about computer chip design and semiconductors.

Founding Nvidia: From Idea to AI Giant
Huang co-founded Nvidia in 1993 with Curtis Priem and Chris Malachowsky. The idea for Nvidia was born at a Denny’s in Northern California, not the high-tech innovation factory one might expect of such a legendary company.
In 1999, NVIDIA introduced the GeForce 256 as “the world’s first GPU,” changing computer gaming and professional graphics forever—and eventually, AI. Today, Nvidia is at the center of a generative AI boom, providing the chips that tech companies around the world use to train powerful AI models.
The company quickly found itself in high demand while the appetite for AI grew. By 2023, Nvidia had reached the trillion-dollar-company club, and its chips had become a must-have for AI developers, research labs, and cloud providers near and far.
Huang’s Leadership Style
Jensen Huang is widely recognized for his distinctive management style:
He manages approximately 60 direct reports and often gives feedback publicly.
He sends hundreds of emails a day and is deeply hands-on, with former employees describing him as meticulous, demanding, and attentive to detail.
Huang is a self-professed workaholic, regularly logging 14-hour days and even working on holidays.
Huang is also for the personal declaration of devotions. He has Nvidia’s logo tattooed on his shoulder, a mark of devotion that he said he would get when the company’s stock broke $100. His iconic black leather jacket has also become a standard part of his wardrobe, which he often wears during product announcements and keynotes.
The latter, however, kept a much lower public profile than Huang. Curtis Priem, the CTO of Nvidia from 1993 to 2003, pretty much faded away after he sold his shares and turned to becoming a philanthropist. Chris Malachowsky remains a senior technology leader.

Personal Life
Huang met his wife, Lori, while attending Oregon State University. The couple has two children:
Madison Huang, director of product and technical marketing at Nvidia.
Spencer Huang, product line manager at Nvidia.
Interestingly, Huang is also a distant cousin of Lisa Su, CEO of AMD, Nvidia’s longtime competitor in the chip industry. Huang resides in Silicon Valley, close to Nvidia’s headquarters in Santa Clara, California.
