Hi HN. Go ahead, laugh at my GitHub stars or my English. But look again.

Act 1: The Hallway 7 years ago, I drove a motorbike taxi to feed my child while learning CS on a $200 laptop. There's a night I'll never forget. My wife was giving birth. I needed money for the bill. So I sat in the hospital hallway, coding a freelance job while the delivery room door was closed. I kept coding to survive.

Act 2: The Rejection & The Promise Last year, Pulumi rejected me for a Senior SDK role due to "Wrong Region", despite liking my manifesto. So I made a promise: I will build it myself. I wrote a reactive IaC SDK from scratch: Drift detection, React Hooks for infrastructure, K8s reconcile, Actor model. GitHub: reactor-cor/reactor-dev EC2 Demo

Act 3: The Silent Validation Early 2025. I faced the local giants.

Education Giant: Interviewed me for 3 hours. I solved their production deadlocks live. Rejected because "We need a degree."

EV Tech Giant: I applied for Principal Engineer with my private IaC SDK repo linked in the CV. They ghosted me. But the next day: That private repo got 13 unique clones from their corporate IPs. They didn't hire the person. They just quietly studied the architecture. It was the ultimate silent validation: Good enough to copy, not good enough to hire.

The Graduation Project: DNA Platform So I spent the last 2 months fasting (literally) to build a home for outliers.

Backend: Python (Litestar) + KVrock (Disk-based Redis).

Storage: Custom Atomic Transactions (Lua scripts) to handle concurrency without a heavy Cloud DB.

AI: OctaCoreIndexer running locally. Semantic search routes users by "Vibe" (Emotion), not keywords.

Why It Exists? Because at 3 AM in a hospital hallway, you don't need Likes. You need to exist without performing.

Scenes: Capture a mood/weather. No likes/comments. Just existence.

Chat Routing: When drowning at 3 AM, it routes you to someone with a compatible vibe. Anonymous.

AI Therapy: Gives "contrast therapy" (hard truths), not echoes.

The Paradox Society rejected me for credentials but copied my code for value. So I built this platform for the ones in between. This is our school. Code is our diploma.

The Ending To the outliers in small rooms: We are the same. Check the code. Judge the architecture. That's the only exam that matters.
