Krystian Jonca

Hi there! My name is Krystian and I am a 21-year-old Software Engineer who loves learning new things and building cool stuff along the way. 😄

My programming journey started almost 9 years ago; my first programming language was C++. My first major project was a Pong Remake that I created using the SFML library in 2017.

Then came JavaScript, which has stuck with me to this day. My first major JavaScript project was a Discord bot—actually not that bad, I named it Bot Yanush. I also developed the PewDiePie Subscriptions Counter Chrome extension around that time (2018), which is actually my most popular (unmaintained though) project with over 20,000 users at its peak.

From 2018 to 2022, I mostly experimented with various technologies (Unity, Python, Web3) and continued to explore the JavaScript ecosystem (TypeScript, React + Next.js, Vue, Express, NestJS). In early 2022, I decided to pursue a career as a Software Engineer right after finishing high school. I pushed hard to learn React, which ultimately paid off as I landed a job in mid-2022—a great time to enter the IT industry, given the abundance of job offers.

Now, I am venturing into the world of Indie Hacking by building my own side projects. I'm sharing all of my progress on social media; if you'd like to follow along, the links are below.
