My mom and dad had a shebang and thus here i am.

Took apart an RC car in kindergarten. The battery wire broke, so I taped it back together since I didn't have a soldering iron. It worked for a few hours. The rest is history.

It started when his mom brought home a computer twice his age. He learned the basics from a kids' programming book that taught Scratch and Python.

Self-taught HTML, CSS, and JS. Built early Python apps like music players and web scrapers — days spent digging through Stack Overflow before AI assistants existed.

Disassembled a perfectly working antique Windows XP Thinkpad and tried mounting the motherboard inside a pizza box. Broke something along the way and it never turned on again. An expensive, time-consuming lesson.

Attended Pinecone programming school and graduated with flying colors thanks to prior knowledge. Refreshing to finally have a real teacher to code alongside.

Still at Pinecone, but leveled up the workflow. Learned Git, GitHub, and how to collaborate with real colleagues on everyday projects.

Set up his first Linux VM (Kali) and dove deep into ADB, scrcpy, and Android internals — building a reputation at school for formatting locked devices.

Fixed teachers' laptops, HDMI cables, and forgotten passwords. Competed in a C++ olympiad (with zero prior knowledge of hashmaps or arrays—at least I tried!). Secured straight 100%s in informatics class every year, sometimes by 'borrowing' the Wi-Fi password.

Started dual-booting Windows and Arch. After a Windows update wiped un-pushed code, he nuked the partition, switched fully to Arch Linux, and never looked back.

Continued pushing boundaries. Still playing table tennis and chess, but now with a focus on software and hardware engineering.
