Origin Story

My journey into software engineering began during the pandemic (2019-2020) with Minecraft's Hypixel Skyblock, where I discovered the power of automation at scale.

Managing a network of 10+ automated accounts, I developed custom scripts for advertising and pathfinding, while leveraging external automation systems for generating digital currency. Beyond the technical side, I established a customer base through automated advertising, facilitated B2B wholesale transactions, and operated as a trusted middleman in the trading ecosystem.

This experience taught me about distributed systems, optimizing algorithms, and business operations at scale. It sparked my passion for building efficient and creative software.
