RINALDS DĒRICS
I build systems that work — in technology, in business, and in training.
Who I am
About me
I'm a computer systems technician from Riga, drawn to how systems and processes actually work — and how to make them work better.
Outside formal study I taught myself the practical side of business: building online stores, running paid ad campaigns, and producing content that reached over 2.3 million views. I generated real sales, learned where things break, and came away with an honest read on what it takes to run a venture.
I approach goals the way I approach training — consistently, over the long term. Four years in the gym, a marathon, and two half-marathons taught me that discipline compounds. I'm now building a serious foundation in business and entrepreneurship.

Self-directed e-commerce, end to end
I founded and ran my own e-commerce operation: built the store, selected the products, and ran paid advertising on Meta and TikTok — roughly €900 across 6 campaigns. To support it, I grew a content channel to over 2.3 million total views, with a single video reaching 2 million.
The venture generated sales but not profitability. The bottleneck was ad-creative quality and conversion — and diagnosing that honestly is the most useful business lesson I've earned so far.
