I'm a third-year CS student; programming for over ten years. I build practical software that actually gets used, like a Discord bot used by 200,000+ people , an npm library with 120,000+ downloads, and developer tools for problems nobody else solved before me.

  • 344,000+ people reached
  • 208,430 Relaxy users
  • 290 Discord servers
  • 99.84% bot uptime, 90 days
  • 125,168 npm downloads
