ABOUT ME
Hello, I go by Staticaliza online, and I specialize in computer-related skills.
I am an American-born Korean student studying Computer Science at the University of Florida, Class of 2028.
In my spare time, I program games on Roblox Studio, Discord bots, websites, API applications, and experiment with open-source AI models.
I currently live in Florida, so my timezone is Eastern Standard Time (EST).
If you want to know what my birthday is, it is August 31, 2006. 🍰
My main alias is Stat or Static, but I also went by these old aliases in the past: PROXDGAMER00, Prox, Proxd, St4t1cCris, StaticalCris, Statical_Cris. Let me know if you recognize me after reading these past names.
This is my official website, where you can find my personal information, upcoming and previous projects, and ways to contact me.

LIFE STORY
Early Curiosity
I was very much a kid with curiosity in science during my childhood days. Whenever I found science-related content on YouTube or some high-quality documentary, I would watch them all from beginning to end while taking in their valuable knowledge. I also loved trying to figure out how objects I see everyday worked, as well as gifts of basically nerdy stuff I played around with. At the same time, I was still inexperienced person, but each experience contributed to my a learning curve.
The Internet's Impact
When I first discovered the internet and began playing popular games, I was quite fascinated with not just the gameplay, but me trying to understand the creative side of how these worlds were built and how they all functioned together. This curiosity also carried into several of the games I played such as Minecraft, Roblox, and many others. From here and on, this was where my potential was first discovered.
Trying Out Roblox Studio
When I was around 12 or 13, I spent most of my time playing Roblox. Eventually, I grew mostly bored of playing the same games and eventually discovered Roblox Studio, the platform's game engine. At first, I tinkered with free assets from the catalog, but YouTube tutorials helped me learn the basics of Luau, Roblox's scripting language. I started by modifying scripts inside free assets, then gradually moved on to creating my own. Most of my early work was experimental and not fully playable, but everything changed in 2020
Pandemic Turning Point
In 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic brought a massive lockdown. After finishing 8th grade and heading into summer break, my brother (who is a prominent Roblox trader known online as Socrite) introduced me to a Roblox anime game that changed everything. It started with a JoJo's Bizarre Adventure game called A Bizarre Day, which inspired countless modded variants and their own closed online communities. Socrite found an old copy of the game and wanted to create his own mod, but he lacked Roblox development and scripting experience. After plenty of times he tried convincing me, I finally agreed to help, and helped expand on the game with my own scripts. Together we launched our own modded version of the game, A Dumb Day, the name which sounds like the original. At first our game had only a small player base, but as the genre playerbase grew from late 2020 into early 2021, so did our game. Eventually it reached nearly 4,000 concurrent players, generated millions of Robux, and even attracted popular content creator, along with the unexpected appearance of an official Roblox admin. This was the moment of change I never expected to come in my life. We also gained a lot of new friends over the years and I was able to grow my reputation as a trusted and skilled developer. This was where I started to understand how real games were built.
Realization Of Growth Potential
Over these few years, I have learned a lot of other skills including modeling, animating, making particle effects, and making professional GFXs and thumbnails. I also got into other programming languages and solidified my interest in majoring into Computer Science (I used to have interest in aviation because I wanted to fly). It seems that whatever new talent I pick up and enjoy, I will eventually master it quickly.
More Professional Projects
I also worked on well-known projects such as Stands Upright: Rebooted and became the founder of Blade Ball Practice, both holding thousands of players at its peak. Indeed, through my skills, I have helped many creators in the Roblox community garner millions of visits and generate substantial profit.
What's Next?
I have kept much of my journey hidden from those around me under my online alias, and this website reveals part of my story. Have I received what I truly deserved from my hard work? Absolutely not, I have fallen into a lot of bad investments lately. Is there an opportunity to grow and fulfill what I deserve? Absolutely, I learned from my mistakes. As an grown adult now attending college, I will start to pursue opportunities with a professional mindset and approach risks with greater maturity. I aim to transform my experiences into an even greater success story, guided by the lessons of my past. Let's see what the next few years bring and I will always be ready to take on the next big opportunity.
