19 y.o Self-Taught Software Engineer, with a slight Product Obsession; Giving context to AIs full time
About
My hobby is to be obsessed. Right now, that obsession is building high-quality products that solve real problems. I began writing code at 13, and truly fell in love with it when I managed to reverse engineer my school's website to avoid online classes. Around 2022, I went deep into C, building compilers, computer vision and graphing libraries completely from scratch, to understand how it all worked, or as Feynmann put it "What I cannot create, I do not understand" In 2024 I shipped Varta, a multi-channel communications app for my own school. Varta taught me the art and the joy of building a REAL product; talking to teachers, understanding their problems and coming up with a "perfectly imperfect" solution. Today you'll find me obsessing over UIs that feel "just right" or refactoring until my code reads like a story ("think of systems as stories to be told rather than programs to be written."~ Clean Code by Robert C. Martin) Almost everything I know came from the internet and some genuinely great authors and educators. You can talk to me all day about shipping products, programming, and running. Cheers!
