AGE 8-9 (2017-2018)
i used to stream minecraft with my friends after school. just playing around, nothing fancy. got to 200 subs which felt huge back then.
my dumb 10 year old self deleted all of them. luckily my friends still have some live streams archived
AGE 12 (Late 2021)
my first actual game. turn-based strategy where you place units on a 7x7 grid and bomb the enemy. you get more ammo based on how many tiles you control. survivor with most points wins.
finished dec 17, 2021. published on google play but later removed cuz google wanted my address and i didn't agree lol
real-time multiplayer with local networking, airplane animations when you attack, explosion effects, cosmetics system, and.. ads lol.
money go brrr
started messing around with python. no idea what i was doing but it was fun. this is where everything changed cuz now i could automate stuff and make bots.
AGE 13 (Summer 2022)
got commissioned by a big youtuber Flowriann to make a bot that does actions based on tiktok live gifts. he promised me $15. he never paid.
he even mentioned on his live stream it was made by me. whatever, at least i have a 42 stars repo for a fork i barely modified when i was learning python
i have no idea how it got 42 stars. it's literally just a fork of another project that i modified to do specific stuff. this was when i started learning python and i was a complete beginner.
made youtube shorts and posted them on tiktok too. started with a tutorial that hit 5k views. then things started climbing: 15k, 190k, 48k, 242k, 162k views. got 4k followers on tiktok in one night.
some random kids comments lol. one said "Eu am 14 ani nu 1.16+" (1.16 was the mc version) and another "esti fata brumusico ๐"
then my relationship with flowriann shattered so i decided to compete with him.
since flowriann was making a minecraft server, i made my own competing one. made a youtube and tiktok video about it. discord server got 1000 members overnight and players flooded in.
had a friend shulker but i lost contact with him
AGE 14 (March 2023)
my dorm overseer needed a system to manage duty rotations for the dorm. cantina (canteen), curte (courtyard), poarta (gate), palier (floor/hallway).
built a pygame gui with input fields for month, year, start dates. backend randomly selects students from lists while tracking their duty frequency to keep workload balanced. exports to csv then auto-converts to pdf.
payment: 1 shawarma + no cantina duty. best deal i ever made
school started again so i made another server. same success, different season. had to balance projects with studying but somehow made it work.
AGE 14-15 (Fall 2023 - 9th Grade)
sold gray area stuff in the dorms. got in trouble lol. not saying more
decided to level up from just python scripts to proper web applications. learned react, firebase, how to actually deploy stuff.
AGE 15 (2024)
built a promotional website for samsung's flagship phone for a national competition. got 2nd place.
platform for corporate food ordering. companies can manage employee allowances, group orders. basic website with whatsapp messaging for orders and firebase database for users. still live.
social assistance information platform for the romanian community. "รฎmpreunฤ educฤm pentru comunitฤศi mai puternice!" (together we educate for stronger communities!)
shares information about social assistance with the goal of informing, helping, and changing communities. features blog posts, news, magazine/library section, volunteer opportunities, and job listings. optimized for low-bandwidth and older devices for maximum accessibility. still live.
complete flower shop with payments, order management, customer accounts.
client hasn't released it yet
AGE 15 (2024)
detect players and see them live through walls (ESP). has aimbot but needs work.
morse code tool (2โญ), drawing app (1โญ), dice (1โญ), uselez18 (2โญ) - random experiments that sounded fun at the time
AGE 15-16 (Late 2024)
fnaf-inspired horror game but i replaced all the animatronics with my friends. they loved it and hated it at the same time lol
started building an rpg with dismemberment system. lost interest and moved on to other stuff. happens sometimes.
AGE 16 (Summer 2024)
massive content delivery platform for manga/manhwa. automated scraping with python, firebase nosql optimized for read-heavy operations. custom caching layer to handle traffic using CloudFlare.
built in 2 days. got too popular, had bugs somewhere, google sent me a $100 bill. i ghosted the account and took it down
the challenge was managing 48,000+ series with over 1.2 million chapters while keeping latency under 200ms. served 2,000+ active members with $0 infrastructure cost until it got too big.
*images not loading because backend got deleted
remade my childhood game as a web app. real-time multiplayer with firebase, cosmetics, vs cpu mode. complete with pixel art aesthetic using vt323 font.
Following the release of the [REDACTED] Files I made em searchable in da browser. makes it easy to navigate and search through the files.
AGE 16 (Now - Dec 2024 / Jan 2025)
ai is getting too good for high-level stuff and the job market is crashed. i don't think it will recover as fast as i hope. so i'm pivoting to exploit dev and security research.
still taking commissions for web stuff but my focus is shifting to low-level. assembly, reverse engineering, vulnerability research. it's harder but way more interesting and ai can't touch it.
