Instagrammer & Web Developer

About

Hey there! I'm an 18-year-old student developer. I run a successful Instagram community of my own, and also help tech companies grow their social media presence.

I also love coding, of course! Recently, I've been focusing on developing websites as well as creating IoT devices such as kiosks and smart speakers.
