is it cold?
what is? idk, my name is olzhas.
at around 13, i ran a senet setup for a pc club, a local server wired into every PXE-booting machine we had. grew it into a real business that did well over $200k in gross revenue across its existence.
later i started my own academy. published 2 peer-reviewed papers with my students and another 7–8 in other journals. i also raised money for a startup, failed it, and returned everything. on the side i wrote my own research in computer vision and did work at NU GSB.
somewhere along the way i also bypassed cursor/windsurf’s security, purely for research, and reported it back to them. so, you know, one of the good ones :).
right now i’m really into robotics and machine learning / computer vision. i’ll write more about it when it’s less embarrassing.
i was also homeless once. that’s a story for a different page.
