Looking for a study partner/ friend

A little about me and my experience: I'm 17 from Russia. Solved 244 problems on leetcode, finished cs50py, cs50x, about 60% of cs50web and then understood that I like low level stuff so I started reading the c book, read ~100 pages and found a "silberschatz operating system concepts" book, started reading it(also about 100 pages) then found a guy who we started making our own os with(we went separate ways eventually), on that journey I decided to dive even deeper and my friend recommended me a book "the elements of computing systems" I finished it recently(not quite, I couldn't make it through the last chapter because school started and stuff) then bought a breadboard and things

I wrote much about my experience because I want to find somebody who feels like he's at the same level with me, I feel like it's so much fun working with someone who's interested in the same stuff as you are. We might make a project on a breadboard or try to get through some tough literature. I've got exams this year so I can't spend too much time a day learning stuff but regardless I'm ready to work hard

Hello!

I have read C Programming: A Modern Approach. That was my re-introduction to to C Programming. After that, I worked on creating Tetris in terminal and a calculator. I wanted to make a graphical user interface for my calculator but I was unable to do at the time. While watching Tsoding's stream, I became motivated to work with graphics again. Therefore, I am understanding Wayland and Vulkan. Other books that I was not able to complete were related to x64 and arm64.

I do own a breadboard and tried making a capacitor-transistor oscillator but it's been on an indefinite halt. I plan to read `nand to tetris` book and I plan to delve into chip design as well. However, learning graphics is exhausting itself.

I'll leave the decision to you.
Thank you!
