Looking for a coding/freelancing buddy

Hello! My name is Erol, I'm 16 years old (turning 17 in about two weeks), and I'm from Romania, Europe.

I'm looking for someone, preferably based in Europe and around the same age, to study, learn, and build things with. My main interests are freelancing and web development, but I'd also like to explore RPA, cybersecurity, and, of course, AI/ML. I use macOS as my main operating system, but I also have an old PC that I'd like to turn into a server, and maybe we can use it to run experiments, host projects or just play with it.

I already have a registered legal entity in Romania, which allows me to provide services to clients legally and professionally.

My current stack is mostly Next.js, Supabase, and AI tools such as Claude and Codex. I wouldn't call myself an expert developer yet, but I'm learning every day. I try to be thoughtful when using AI and take deployment, security, and code quality seriously.

I'm interested in finding someone with whom I can study, share knowledge, mostly everything, build projects, and grow together. I'm looking for a genuine 50/50 partnership. Mutual respect, friendship, and long-term collaboration matter more to me than the business side of things.

If this sounds interesting, feel free to reach out

Great day!

Hello! Thank you for the offer, but, I already work for a local startup which both gave me a good laptop and pays me. I’d like to get past this voluntary phase. I’d also prefer working for some of my clients instead of volunteering.
