This is my current phase of building tools that solve problems I personally run into. It includes automation projects, market-related software, bots, and other systems that help me work faster or test new ideas.

I started taking web development more seriously and moved from normal websites into SaaS products and applications. This includes projects such as ClipifAI, RepoDock, and the private systems behind them, where I have learned much more about product design, user experience, infrastructure, and shipping real software.

During this phase, I focused on creating games in Roblox Studio. I worked on several projects and learned more about scripting, gameplay systems, environments, and how small design decisions affect the player experience.

I started posting motorsport content on social media, mainly about Formula 1. I created edits, news posts, charts, statistics, and slideshow content. I eventually stopped because it took a lot of time without gaining enough traction, but it improved my editing, research, and presentation skills.

I wanted to put my 3D printer to practical use, so I started a small online business with a Shopify website and an Etsy shop. I sold different types of keychains that customers could personalise with their own text, images, or sizing. I created templates for each product, adjusted the model for every order, printed it, and shipped it through the post office. I eventually stopped because marketing was difficult and sales were limited, but I learned a lot about ecommerce, custom production, customer orders, and fulfilment. I also genuinely enjoyed running it.

This era was one of the most fun and rewarding experiences I've had. I gained knowledge in many fields and made great memories. After starting with Lego Robotics, I moved into the more advanced and challenging field of Mechatronics. We usually worked on competition-based projects such as Line Following, Maze Solving, and Boat Racing. The process involved creating schematics, designing PCBs, ordering and soldering components, sometimes 3D printing parts, and programming the final product. Although the work could be difficult and sometimes overwhelming, seeing a project finally work made it worthwhile. I learned a lot and enjoyed working alongside friends who shared the same passion for Mechatronics. While I eventually stopped due to limited free time, I hope to build my own project in the future to keep my skills sharp and relive those memories.

At this time I was focused on making gaming videos for YouTube, mainly around Minecraft, Fortnite, Fall Guys, and Rocket League. I kept improving the recording, editing, and ideas, but the channel struggled to gain views, so I eventually moved on. Even though it did not grow as I hoped, it taught me a lot about video editing, pacing, thumbnails, and content creation.

During this period, I made space-related content on TikTok because the subject genuinely interested me. I posted edits, short videos, and facts, which helped me improve my editing and understand what makes short-form content engaging. I enjoyed testing different ideas and seeing what performed best, but eventually my views dropped and I lost interest in continuing.

When I was younger, I started learning robotics through Lego Mindstorms classes and competitions. We built robots for challenges such as line following, maze solving, and arena battles, then programmed them to complete each task as effectively as possible. This was my first real experience combining physical building with code, and it later led me into mechatronics.
