My 2024 Wrapped: you can just make things

My 2024 Wrapped

you can just make things

January: The Month of New Beginnings

I ditched job hunting, dove into building projects, founded GPTHub, and earned LinkedIn badges. Kicked off streaming, freelancing, and published my first Flutter package.

February: The Month of AI Adventures

I built Spotius, AstroAI, and JobViz, won a hackathon with AstroAI, and joined Microsoft for Startups. Explored Midjourney/DALL-E, interned at Nobel Learning, and started CoMed (AI for Brain MRIs).

March: The Month of Sharing and Learning

I wrapped up Upwork gigs, posted more articles, tackled the GDSC Solution Challenge, and marveled at Neuralink’s brain-chip demo. Rejected by Wolfram Summer School, but kept mentoring.

April: The Month of Rejections

I pitched CoMedAI to Y Combinator solo and got a chorus of rejections (Snap, Next Shift, Cornell, Yale, Brown, Stanford, USC, Tufts, and Stanford Code In Place). Finished a 3-month EPAM course in a week.

May: The Month of Stories and Discovery

I got rejected by EPAM but published loads of tutorials on YouTube. Wrote my first short story, explored 30 AI papers, and dabbled in Rust. Ditching Work & Travel, I focused on building.

June: The Month of Mixed Triumphs

I faced my first YC rejection, then got into Buildspace and Night & Weekends. Started a GenAI internship at HeadOn, created Open Community, and won a ticket to SF. Also snagged a camera prize at a youth camp.

July: The Month of Growth

I wrapped CoMedAI’s new version, built MeWell AI (3rd place), and joined Headstarter’s Fellowship. Got selected for HPAIR but missed it due to funding. Added voice to Langflow, cutting build times.

August: The Month of Persistence

I couldn’t attend Buildspace IRL (no US visa), but I built five AI projects in five weeks. Created MonkeytypeAI (won a PS5), rebuilt CoMedAI, and started senior year while reading “Zero to One.”

September: The Month of Firsts

I submitted a video for the IES program, ended my HeadOn internship (30+ papers reviewed), and gave my first conference talk in Almaty. Became a CAREC USG2024 finalist, mentored for The Earth Prize, and saw my tweet hit 90K views.

October: The Month of Big Wins

I published my first Scopus-indexed paper with Springer Nature and won NASA Space Apps with StoryAI. Got my first IES Skype interview, built PaperAI (Top 100), and snagged a Knight-Hennessy application.

November: The Month of Big Shifts

I pivoted from AlphaFold to STM-32/ASCON cryptography. Reapplied to YC with PaperAI 2.0, launched Open Community (plus AI startup album), and dropped a viral video. Kept hitting Topmate records, built AI Coding Interviewer, and got featured by big newsletters.

December: The Month of Going Viral

I failed YC again but finished “The Pathless Path.” Open Community went viral, fake meme coins appeared, one twit spiked from $5K to $4M in 1h. Ranked in Top 1% on Topmate and heading to Times Square next.

ps: fun stuff

Y Combinator published a new list of startup ideas to build in 2025.

For anyone exploring what to build next, I summarized the full list for you:

1) Government software - AI to automate government tasks

2) Public safety technology - emergency response systems / law enforcement

3) US manufacturing - automated manufacturing using ML and robotics

4) Stablecoins 2.0 - business focused stablecoin management

5) LLMs for chip design - more efficient chip design

6) Fintech 2.0 - AI first financial products

7) Space companies - space infrastructure

8) AI-aided engineering tools - better engineering tools with AI

9) One million jobs 2.0 - focus on jobs that AI can't replace

There's never been a better time to build.

I'll also link to Andreessen Horowitz's list of startup ideas to build in 2025.
