Ahyrun Moon is one of the founders of Etch, a new keyboard app that was created at the popular LAUNCH hackathon is San Francisco.

Ahryun is originally from Korea, but studied and worked in the US as a financial analyst.

In this episode, Ahryun explains how she was able to pivot her career from crunching numbers in Excel to now crunching code and launching products.

Her latest project, Etch, was featured by Apple just one week after going live. Ahryun shares how this happened and how you can launch with thousands of users on day one.

Ahryun has accomplished all of this without a background in programming and as a newcomer to Silicon Valley.
