projects rant

i started coding in middle school ~2007 with myspace HTML+CSS layouts, if you could call it that. i went on to learn in class in high school, and took it from there on my own. i competed in coding & game-making competitions, founded multiple clubs, taught & tutored, participated in & managed hackathons, even made a lot of spreadsheets to min-max video games with my guilds.

i have all sorts of projects tucked away on hard drives, online repos, long forgotten websites, or in forever lost videos & streams. i also did a lot of work through my enterprise consulting jobs, most of which is not saved to share and half of which was less creative, architecture & operations type of stuff. I frankly spent a lot of my other time minmaxing my life for fun, friends, events, random life adventures, and lots of games--most of which i'm honestly proud of and grateful for.

i've always had a hyperactive imagination since as long as i can remember, filling notebooks with ideas of games, mods, apps, systems, educational & societal changes--a lot emerging nowadays, like particular kinds of online learning paradigms, new voting systems like liquid voting, AI for graphic & idea generation, AI for driving, and more. maybe because of video games, my deep interest in history & fantasy, and parents encouraging my expression.

i do woe about the overwhelming number of ideas i never manifested. it was never a high priority for me, for whatever reasons. i had lots of opportunities early, from minecraft mods & servers to bitcoin to Big Tech jobs to game industry jobs to web3 industry jobs. i worked local, and was near friends and girlfriends. i was happy. i did also spend a very high number of hours learning & deeply researching all things related to geopolitics, from 2008 era onward, out of a since-9/11 concern of what wild world i'm growing up in??

tl;dr i want to craft, i want to be a positive influence in the world, and i want to enjoy my short life. meanwhile, ill keep improving & doing my best.

my goals right now are (1) to increase cash-flow through ever-better client work and digital sales (LOOKING FOR SMALL CONTRACT DEVS), (2) prototype apps to the point where i can pay engineers & co-create a better-built version for growth (LOOKING FOR CO-CREATORS), (3) scale up helping small businesses with student developers alongside a business partner (LOOKING).
