Hi, I'm Rylan Cortland
Builder, Developer, Strategist
Full-stack AI & blockchain developer creating games, puzzles, and digital experiences.
About Me
I'm Rylan Cortland, an 11-year-old builder and developer. I started coding at 6 with my dad's guidance and have been building games, platforms, and AI-powered experiences ever since. I love solving problems, designing strategy games, collecting and trading digital assets, and creating platforms that combine fun with skill.
My philosophy: “Old systems don't need to be replaced—they need a new perspective.” I love sharing knowledge, building in public, and learning out loud.
