The Founder
This Is What Relentless Looks Like
WebVerse wasn't built by a team. It was built by one person — self-taught, battle-tested, and not even 18 yet.
Dropped Out of School
Left traditional school in Grade 7. Recognized that the system wasn't aligned with where he wanted to go. Got homeschooled — which really meant freedom to chart his own path.
Chose a different path when the traditional one didn't make sense.
Self-Taught Hacking
Got a job to earn money for a $300 hacking course. Printed 50 resumes, walked into every business in town. Worked in kitchens, dressed as mascots for cruise ship tourists. Bought the course, learned to hack. Within a year was completing pro-level labs that stump experienced professionals.
Got a job at 13 to fund his own education. Within a year, was completing challenges that stump experienced professionals.
Hired at Brilliant Labs
Walked into Brilliant Labs, an after-school tech program. Was too advanced for their content. The director noticed him doing HackTheBox and offered a penetration test of their systems. Found critical vulnerabilities, wrote a professional report. Got hired: ~$50K/year at 14.
Hired as a security professional at 14. Proved that age is irrelevant when the skills are real.
Started a Marketing Company
Founded Mythical Marketing (later The Lead Wheel). Built automated outreach systems, ran cold outreach campaigns. Scaled from $0 to $4,000/month consistent revenue within months.
Entrepreneurial at 15. Built and scaled a marketing agency while still working in cybersecurity.
Type 1 Diabetes — Near Death
Diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes the day after his birthday. Blood sugar at 48 (should be 4–7). Lost 90 pounds. Would have died if he'd waited one more night. Lost all marketing clients during hospitalization. Revenue dropped to zero.
Nearly died at 16. Lost his business, his health, and his identity in a matter of weeks. Rebuilt from zero.
Lost Everything
Laid off from Brilliant Labs due to company financial issues. Lost his remaining income source. Went on employment insurance until February 2025. The job, the business, the health — all gone.
Lost everything. Had nothing left but the skills and the drive.
Failed Businesses & Relentless Hustle
Tried multiple businesses: AI automation agency, chatbots, voice agents, CRM sales. Walked into car dealerships at 16 trying to sell automated CRM systems. Got rejected every single time. Never made a dollar from these ventures. Never stopped trying.
Failed. Again and again. Walked into businesses and got rejected. Never stopped.
Certifications Earned
Earned CPTS, CRTP, CRTE, CARTP, and AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner. Stacked elite certifications that most professionals take years to earn. Attempted OSCP three times — the exam rewards CTF thinking over real pentester methodology.

Built GunnerC2

Built a C2 framework that gained attention in the offensive security community.
Created WebVerse
Saw a gap that nobody was filling — no platform focused exclusively on realistic web application hacking labs. Started as "API Verse" (API-only), pivoted to "WebVerse" for broader market. Built the entire platform solo: backend API, frontend dashboard, marketing site, lab infrastructure, VPN system, every single lab.
Saw a gap. Built an entire platform from scratch — alone — at 17.
