About Sid
Builder of things. Lover of learning. Occasional cricket legend.
Hi, I'm Siddharth 👋
I'm 13 years old and in Year 8 at Langley Grammar School in Slough, UK. I've been building software projects for a couple of years and I absolutely love it. There's something magical about turning ideas into real, working things just by writing code.
My biggest project is PandaCoin — I built an entire cryptocurrency from scratch, including the blockchain engine, proof-of-work mining, wallet system, and a web explorer. I also built an AI chatbot that knows a scary amount about archaeology, and I'm currently teaching a drone to navigate on its own.
Outside of coding I play cricket, read anything I can get my hands on, and spend way too much time playing strategy games. I also love science experiments and finding out how things work under the hood.

Beyond Code
Other Interests
Cricket
I play cricket both for fun and seriously. There's a lot of maths and strategy in it — just like programming.
Reading
Sci-fi, history, technology — if it makes me think, I'll read it. Currently on a big science-fiction kick.
Strategy Games
I love games that make you plan ahead. Also a big Minecraft player — which is why I built an AI bot for it!
Science
Experiments, electronics, finding out how stuff really works. Coding and science go hand in hand for me.
