Hello! What's your background, and what are you working on?
Hi everyone. Hamed here, from Stay22. I'm Canadian, but my roots are half Iraqi and half Persian. I've been living in Montreal since I was born, 24 years ago.
Like most dudes, I've always been fascinated by video games, which got me into computers early on. I wanted to impress my friends with how good I was at a particular game — Dota — so I used tools like map hacks to cheat my way through and win. (Bear with me: I was a kid.) Dota would push new patches to keep cheaters out, and the developers of the map hacks would start asking for money to develop new versions. I was 16 and had no money, so I decided to learn to code and create hacks myself.
