About
A bit about what I’ve been up to.
Timeline
14-15 years old
- started by coding little scripts and mods for Minecraft and SAMP (GTA San Andreas Multiplayer) in Java and Lua
- discovered Arizona RP, the biggest SAMP project in the world (mostly known within the CIS community — 33k daily active players across 32 servers)
- sold helper/automation scripts to other players — made my first $100!!
- ran my own RP server with ~50 players for a few months, monetized via selling in-game currency. made around $200 in total :D
- built and ran a Minecraft mini-games server with ~100 players at peak. wrote custom plugins (HUDs, floating text, chat mini-games), did all the marketing on VKontakte and Minecraft listings myself. made ~$250 from donations for VIP/mod roles
15-16 years old
- built a market price aggregator that scraped every buy/sell listing on the in-game market to find the best trades
- built a fully automated treasure-hunting autopilot that teleported across the map, found and collected hidden treasures, and reverse-engineered the server’s anti-cheat
- sold in-game currency for ~$500 with like minutes of effort per day
- built a script for “Durak” (card game in the server casino) that tracked played cards and estimated which cards the opponent was most likely holding. quickly became a top 10 wealthiest player
17-18 years old
- was messing around building a crypto casino as a side project at 17 (never launched), but it got me noticed by a web3 founder — which landed me my first real job
- spent 8 months building apps for a TON token: landing page, vesting system, public sale, dashboards
- contributed to an NFT marketplace for referral networks
19-20 years old
- built a private market maker bot for large token holders. hit ~$2k MRR from swap fees, ran it for 10 months. eventually sold my shares
- founding engineer on a tap-to-earn Telegram mini app — real-time multiplayer game (piggy bank theme) with shop, daily tasks, referrals, animations in PixiJS and Lottie. hit 100k MAU at peak
- founding engineer on a virtual pet Telegram mini app — raise a mouse, feed it, protect it daily. had PvP tournaments, daily walks where you attack other players, roulettes with real prizes (Telegram gifts, TON, USDT). hit 80k MAU at peak
- built a private DeFi app for a TON project with token swapping, lending, and leverage trading
