Story

I started building under an alias. The ambition was always my own.

I started out as a kid running a Brawl Stars club and ended up building a Minecraft server that more than 400,000 players have joined. Away from the screen I am a footballer. I have played since I was 8 and it was the dream before any of this. It did not work out, so now I am here writing this, though I still back myself on the pitch. I also do athletics.

  1. 2018

    A club that reached the top

    Brawl Stars

    I started out in 2018 as a Brawl Stars player and founded my own club. It grew into one of the best clubs in India, and it gave me my first taste of leading a group of people.

  2. 2020

    From staff to top executive

    Mystic Esports

    I joined Mystic Esports in 2020 as regular staff and worked my way up to its highest executive role. It taught me team management, professionalism, clear communication, and how to take responsibility when people depend on me. It is also where I met my best friend, Waffles.

  3. 2020

    Learning to program

    Self-taught

    The same year I started programming with Python and JavaScript. I learned discord.js to build Discord bots and used Python to make games. That pulled me into game development, where I picked up some Unity and Godot along the way.

  4. 2021

    Starting MystiCraft

    MystiCraft

    In 2021 Waffles and I started MystiCraft, and that is where everything changed. It was my introduction to the world of Minecraft servers. We began with zero players and nothing behind us.

  5. 2022

    The first money, then YouTube

    MystiCraft

    In 2022 the server made its first money, a moment I still remember. After that I taught myself video editing and how the YouTube algorithm works, so I could make content for the server and bring more players in. My videos now sit around 50,000 views, and the most popular has passed 100,000.

  6. 2025

    200 players and still growing

    MystiCraft

    By 2025 we had more than 200 players online, and it just kept growing. Along the way I learned the tools that keep a server like this running, such as Git, Grafana, and Linux servers.
