// available for collabs & roasting
16, from Arad ๐ท๐ด. Won 1st place nationally in AI robotics (2025), got a bronze in CS olympiad, and I spend way too much time in VS Code instead of doing my history homework. Hit me up if you wanna collab or roast my spaghetti code.

}โOk so basically โ I'm a self-taught dev from Arad, Romania. Started coding in 2024 because I was bored during summer break. Opened up VS Code, wrote some HTML, and it was all downhill from there lol.
I go to Colegiul Naศional Vasile Goldiศ where they teach me C++ (which I have a love-hate relationship with tbh). But most of my actual coding happens at like 1am building Flutter apps, Python scripts, or fixing Docker containers that decided to break for no reason.
I won 1st place at nationals in robotics (AI category) with NextLab in 2025, which was honestly insane. Also got a bronze in the county CS olympiad. Not bad for someone who learned to code from YouTube tutorials and StackOverflow.
Currently grinding: Flutter state management (it makes me want to throw my laptop out the window sometimes).
how i got here (its been a weird ride)
Working on Flutter apps, messing with Docker. Built this site at 3am instead of studying for my math test. Also eating way too many biscuiศi while debugging. No regrets.
This one was WILD. Debugged the robot for like 5 hours straight at 2am the night before. Almost gave up at one point when the sensors kept giving garbage data. But we won the whole thing nationally in the AI category. Still can't believe it tbh.
Got 3rd place at the county level for the Computer Science olympiad. Honestly I'm happy with bronze considering I forgot to eat breakfast and my brain was running on energy drink fumes. C++ saved me that day.
Summer break. Bored. Found a "build your first website" tutorial. Wrote the worst HTML you've ever seen. The CSS was crimes against humanity. But something clicked and I just... kept going. Did some Logiscool courses too which actually helped a lot ngl.
stuff i actually touch every day (and hate sometimes)
My main thing. Cross-platform mobile apps. The hot reload is *chef's kiss* but state management? BLoC? Provider? Riverpod?? pain.
School makes me use this for olympiads and competitive programming. I actually like it sometimes. Then segfaults happen and I remember why I don't.
Quick dirty scripts, Discord bots, Spotify downloading tools (shh). When I need something done fast and messy, Python's my go-to.
Finally no more "works on my machine" arguments. Took me forever to understand compose files though. Still google the syntax every single time.
Where it all started. This whole site is hand-written HTML/CSS/JS because I'm too stubborn to use a framework for a portfolio. Fight me.
Won nationals with it. Sensor fusion, computer vision, making a robot not crash into walls. Harder than it sounds trust me.
some work, some don't. that's life idk
Student app that counts down to your next school break โ with a timetable, exam tracker, AI schedule parser from a photo, home screen widgets, and Google Drive backup. No ads, no account needed, 33+ countries supported. Built by a student, for students.
๐จ actively working on thisBackend API for an attendance tracking system. This is my main project rn โ writing the whole server-side logic in Dart. Its actually getting pretty complex now and I'm kinda proud of the architecture (even if the error handling is questionable lmao).
Educational platform that I built to make studying less boring. It has like 3 stars on GitHub which is honestly generous because the UI is kinda ugly lol. But the core quiz logic works great I swear.
โญ 3 stars (ty random strangers)Got mad that Spotify premium is expensive โ made this Python CLI to grab tracks offline. Don't tell the lawyers lol. Breaks sometimes when they update their API and I have to panic-fix it at midnight.
AI-powered Discord bot using OpenRouter APIs. Made it because my friends wanted a bot that could actually hold a conversation and not just do !ping. It works... most of the time. Rate limits are my nemesis.
Lightweight mapping tool I hacked together in Python because Google Maps API costs money and I'm a broke high schooler. It's scrappy but it does the job for basic geolocation stuff.
School year organizer tool. Made it because I kept forgetting assignment deadlines and thought "wait I can code, why am I using a paper planner like its 2005". It's simple but hey, it helped me not fail geography.
proof that i occasionally leave my room and compete
AI Stage โ 1st Place National
Won the gold at the national robotics olympiad in the AI category. Literally the highlight of my life so far (is that sad? idc it was awesome).
view diploma โCounty Stage โ 3rd Place
Bronze at the county level for Computer Science. Not gold, but hey, I'll take it. Next year I'm going for silver at least.

# ...you get the idea
# it went up to 100
# i didn't know about the % operator
# we don't talk about thisWe all start somewhere. My somewhere was very bad. But hey at least I didn't push it to GitHub... oh wait, nvm ๐
(the human kind, not programming)
got an idea? wanna build something? or just roast my code? all good with me
โ If any of my stuff helped you or you just wanna support a broke teenager who codes too much โ no pressure, literally no pressure, but a coffee would make my day:
buy me a coffee โNo pressure fr, just happy if someone uses my crap lol
