Davor Debrecin
From building digital marketing agencies to creating AI-powered tools, I've spent two decades pursuing my passion for technology and education. Welcome to my corner of the web where I share my journey, insights, and explorations in the exciting world of AI development.
A Journey Through Time
Early Entrepreneurial Adventures
My entrepreneurial journey began in high school with curiosity about making money online. Despite challenges in Croatia's young financial system, I found ways to participate in affiliate marketing, built email lists, and experimented with early Facebook Ads (1-cent clicks and tiny 110x80 pixel images!). These early explorations planted seeds for what was to come.
Building the Agency
At 22, I co-founded a digital marketing agency in Croatia. We started small, offering websites, e-commerce solutions, social media management, and digital ads. The agency grew rapidly, becoming a leading name in the country with over 35 team members serving hundreds of clients. These years provided invaluable lessons in business, leadership, and navigating the evolving digital landscape.
Digital Superhero & Online Education
After nearly a decade with the agency, I sought new challenges aligned with my dreams of building my own products. In 2021, I launched "Digital Superhero," an online education platform for digital skills in Croatia. This membership community allowed me to share knowledge through courses and be more hands-on with content creation and technology. When the GPT-4 API became available, it was a game-changer for automating and scaling the platform efficiently.
AI-Powered Development
Today, I'm diving deep into AI-driven development, fascinated by how tools like AI co-pilots can empower creators and entrepreneurs. My experiences in digital marketing, agency management, and online education have converged into a new passion: leveraging AI to build innovative applications and create engaging content. I'm committed to building useful tools with AI and sharing what I learn through content like this blog.
