I build things I'm curious about.
Self-taught developer → community builder → startup founder.
About
It started with a question: How did we evolve from sticks and stones to building whole ass computers?
The first thing I ever built was a basic HTML website about my brother. Seeing text turn into pixels felt like magic.
I taught myself through YouTube. When I realized other beginners were struggling alone, I started DEV JOURNEY.
A discord community of early developers, We organized HTML-only hackathons and cold-messaged strangers to be judges. The community grew to 300+ members in two months.
Now I'm in university, building more complex systems, and working on Leap.
