Self-taught engineer. Builder of things that work.
I'm Blake Paulson, a 17-year-old software developer. At 16, I founded Aphelion Auto, an auto transport company where I designed and built the full web platform, internal CRM, and pricing engine from scratch, generating $4,500 in the first month. I also develop internal software for Sky Auto Shipping LLC. Outside of work, I build personal projects in Rust, Python, and C++ spanning machine learning, developer tooling, and 3D visualization. Varsity wrestler, disciplined, self-directed, and used to finishing what I start.
