Background
Previous Work
BoxPvP Minecraft Servers
When I first started in development, I invested in hosting and managing my own Minecraft combat server. At the age of 13, I was building Box PvP servers that pushed the boundaries of the genre, featuring unique content that set them apart from generic, popular servers. This project peaked at 500 concurrent players and generated a profit of $1,500 USD a month from Tebex sales alone, not including additional revenue from partnerships and advertising offers.
Minecraft Network
After I transitioned away from managing Box PvP servers, I was hired to a project to focus on backend development. I was responsible for developing a network featuring eight gamemodes, a custom store page, and a proxy. Additionally, I implemented an anti-cheat system and optimization fixes to resolve performance issues commonly found in smaller, generic networks.
2010BMW
In early 2021, I joined the staff team of a community Discord server owned by a content creator with 700,000 followers. My responsibilities included moderating community engagement and regularly updating guidelines to ensure a safe environment. I was eventually appointed to oversee staff hiring and high-level decision-making processes for the server's management team.
.gg/verifying
I managed a Discord server that peaked at 17,600 members. I initially joined the staff as an administrator and became the owner after six months when the previous owner stepped down. During my leadership, I was responsible for a major rebranding from a 'verifying' theme to a 'South Park' theme, which grew the community from 11,000 to 15,000 members. The server maintained 24/7 activity with a dedicated staff team and experienced no periods of inactivity. We later implemented several community-voted themes, including a 'Total Drama' theme that pushed the member count to its all-time peak.
