Winston Crooker

I'm Winston, a 16-year-old developer and entrepreneur based in Washington state. I build software products — not as a hobby, but as a business. From SaaS platforms to trading tools, I design, develop, and ship real applications used by real people.

Most of what I've learned came from just building things. I started with small projects, made a lot of mistakes, and kept going. Now I use AI-assisted development to move faster without cutting corners — treating Claude Code like a co-founder that never sleeps.

When I'm not coding, I'm usually flipping through vinyl records, making moves on a chess board, or researching my next options trade. I think the same patience that makes a good chess player makes a good builder — you have to think a few steps ahead.

I'm still figuring a lot out. But I'm doing it in public, and I'm doing it early.
