HEY, I'M DRIS.
i'm 17, from minnesota.
i've been building things for 6,529 days.
A FEW ACHIEVEMENTS:
- yt channel with 200k subscribers and 160m views
- $50k/month ecom store selling fake airpod maxes
- won the congressional app challenge at 10
- hacked a $100m organization (rhymes with deca)
- sold an app for below minimum wage
SOME PROJECTS I'M WORKING ON:
- cluely.com - growth intern
- callwalker.net - college connection agent
- twin.ad - create your own ai twin
- ui.dris.one - 2000s inspired component library
i start lots of projects and finish very few. i don't believe in sunk cost. this list will probably be pretty different next time you see it.
TL;DR:
i started selling toys in 1st grade.
i've had nearly every side hustle since. making clothes, selling snacks, designing logos, & editing videos are a few.
i'm a fan of the process. i love turning basic ideas into something great.
