Who am I

Hello! I'm Jacopo, also known as ShiSHcat online, and I'm 16 years old. I'm a high school student with a great passion for computer science, specifically backend development and cybersecurity. I've participated in various programming and cybersecurity competitions in my free time. I'm proud to have been part of TeamItaly 2022 and 2023 for international cybersecurity competitions.

MY PROJECTS

AS215330 / GattingsHost
I started managing my physical servers at home after discontinuing reliance on cloud services. Since I have a fiber home network and noticed many companies were phasing out hardware, and also thanks to offers in local charity markets, I decided to start administering my own servers personally. Currently, I'm running Proxmox on two machines along with a NAS, totaling 16 hard drives, hosting dozens of services and projects. Recently, to learn more about IPv6, internet routing, and as a bonus to my homelab, I acquired AS215330, an IPv6-only autonomous system in my name. You can try reaching it here!
uploadgram.me
I designed and programmed a file-sharing service that utilized the Telegram network for storage. I was responsible for both backend and frontend development in the initial version, as well as managing hosting. Later, the project was transferred to new management, and I contributed to its maintenance. The project attracted a considerable number of users, with over 400,000 files uploaded, totaling over 300 TB of data. On average, approximately ~500 GB of new data were uploaded daily, with 40,000 unique accesses. The service was discontinued in 2023.

Kotekorbya Pay
Together with my teammate Gabriele, I created Kotekorbya Pay, an innovative online payment app, for the international competition Coolest Projects. With this project, I focused on backend development, using PHP and MySQL. Among my responsibilities were implementing functions such as peer-to-peer and business payments, QR code purchases for vending machines, and designing a custom SDK for external applications. I created a web app and a Telegram bot to efficiently manage user accounts. To handle credit card payments, I integrated Stripe's APIs. Our unwavering dedication and passion for computer science led us to win the first international prize in the Advanced Programming category, achieving this feat at just 12 years old.
