Who I am, what I can do, and what I've done.
Identity
{ Who am I? }
Hey there! I'm Aiden, known online as Tap (or TapWater). I'm a teenage programmer born in 2007 in the Bay Area of California. I've been coding since I was 9 years old and I have created many projects over that time; from small ideas with friends to bigger projects with entire companies. I am fluent in HTML, JavaScript, CSS, and Python. I'm also experienced in Lua, C++, and Java.
Skills
{ What can I do? }
I can program in a wide range of categories. Including web development, game development, software development, and some back-end stuff dealing with servers and databases. I also have experience with online security and encryption.
I started coding in 2015 learning how to create Minecraft mods; eventually moving on to JavaScript where I learned how to create Discord bots and websites in 2018. Beginning of 2020 during the COVID-19 quarantine, I learned how to program in Lua to create Roblox games. Recently in 2022, I learned Python while creating small projects to automate processes and modify games.
Moving away from programming I have also grown multiple communities online and received sponsorship offers from big companies like RAID Shadow Legends and Salad. These communities were primarily on Discord and YouTube with a size range from 50,000 - 400,000+ people. The communities were usually gaming or anime related since I found those the easiest to grow and profit off of.
I also have created YouTube videos since December 2015, acquiring over 10,000,000 total views. Over the years I've created some pretty high-quality videos, thumbnails, logos, icons, banners, and advertisements. I understand presentation/marketing and how to hook people's attention.
