I'm an 18-year-old CS student currently taking a gap year from uni. I'm also a pretty avid internet scroller. I like absorbing as much useless information as I possibly can, and somehow I always end up finding something interesting along the way.
I love reading books and learning about how the world works, especially how people think, behave, and interact with each other. Lately, I've been getting more into behaviorism and having a lot of fun reading The Value of Others and Starry Night by Dr. Orion Taraban.
I'm also a huge dyslexic guy, so getting lost halfway through something is pretty normal for me. You're probably never going to see me outside during daylight either. I tend to treat my work and hobbies like they're my entire life, which honestly, they kind of are.
My passion for making things started when I was a kid playing with LEGO. I'd get immediately bored with the manuals because once you follow the instructions and build the thing, that's basically it. So I'd take the finished build apart and use the exact same pieces to make something completely different, something I came up with myself.
That mindset has stuck with me ever since. I've always loved taking a bunch of pieces, figuring out how they work together, and turning an idea in my head into something real. Whether it's design, code, or whatever I'm working on, I enjoy figuring things out and making something of my own more than simply following a set of instructions.
I guess that's also why I've never been particularly good at fitting into school or society. I tend to go against the grain, question how things are supposed to be done, and just do my own thing.
Values
I give deep respect and admiration for anything capable of changing the way someone perceives the world, whether through great design, engaging stories, innovations, new perspectives, or meaningful discoveries.
To me, meaningful work is something that people notice, find value in, and remember because it made a difference in their lives.
In the AI era, creating and putting things out into the world has never been easier. As output becomes more abundant, I believe what sets meaningful work apart is thoughtfulness, effort, human touch, purpose, and genuine value.
It is not just about creating more, but about creating something worth people's time, attention, and memory.
