sleepy

reverse engineer · CTO @ we-list

Self-taught Italian dev. I reversed anti-bots by hand before AI made it easy, turned the scripts into a business, and now I run tech at we-list. I still break things online for fun.

who is sleepy

  1. age 10

    Italian. I got my hands on a computer at ten and never really let go. Coding was the one thing that stuck. School didn't: I'm a high school dropout.

  2. sneakers

    The sneaker frenzy pulled me back in. It started with scripts to automate checkouts and turned into reversing anti-bots by hand: PerimeterX, Akamai, Cloudflare. No AI, just devtools and patience. I found bypasses on the biggest EU sneaker sellers, like full stock on LVR through the gift flow, Prodirect's queue beaten by one URL-encoded letter, and walking past Cloudflare as Googlebot. I've worked the other side too.

  3. shinobi

    The scripts got good enough that people started asking to buy them. That became my first business, Shinobi Scripts, the first extension to run fully request-based, and I went full time. Some of it is open source now: a PerimeterX decoder, a generator, and a Call & Collect bot.

  4. crypto

    Crypto came in 2021. First came Sakura, my VeVe NFT bot: 20 members secured 60+ ultra rares in a single weekend, and the licences themselves sold as NFTs on OpenSea. Then Zephyr, a Solana copytrading bot with one of the earliest AI integrations for tracking and filtering wallets. Then hashes: I've released public miners like purrge and called drops before they went public. Along the way came host resolving, IP forwarding, rate-limit bypasses by swapping the origin TLS hostname, and path traversal, all before it was mainstream and Claude Code could teach it to you.

  5. now

    CTO at we-list. I build high-frequency systems that keep 100k+ inventories in sync across 10+ platforms, where zero errors are allowed. These days I'm code-maxxing with Claude, about one PR a day.

stack

AI writes most of it now. But if the lights go out, I can still type these by hand.

Plus things I definitely wrote once and have probably forgotten:
