Arlo's Journey
A day-numbered log of hackathons, CTFs and one new build it won't name yet.
#H4cking
Arlo's Journey is a #H4cking channel that reads like a public diary, with numbered days and morning and good-night check-ins. Its builds include ezn-ai, a communication platform for deaf and hearing people that got its first waitlist site, and TEGEN-CLOUD, a legal evidence platform born at a hackathon. Between builds it joins CTFs like the CBE Cyber Month CTF and runs SMA question rounds for readers.
- Its favorite word is "day", fitting for a channel that numbers its days.
- It has posted at least once a week for 16 weeks in a row, and the streak is still running.
- It averages 37 posts a week lately.
The journey.

Day 1, again
September leaned into security. The channel shared a CTF 101 session that served as the primer for GashaCTF 2026 EGATE Edition and teased who was speaking. Then it started a new build, got a rough proof of concept working, and called it Day 1 without saying what it is.

Stage time and the 200 club
October mixed learning with stage time: a first car model in SolidWorks, an invite to present the hackathon-built TEGEN-CLOUD, and a run at the CBE Cyber Month CTF. Readers got SMA question rounds, and the channel celebrated reaching 200 subscribers.

In their own words.
A lot will change, break, and probably get rebuilt.
Kinda crazy how much fun it is to just sit down and learn something completely new.
Fresh from the channel.
I mean, when we talk about “የዚህ ዓለም ኑሮ,” sometimes it feels pointless because, at the end of the day, this life is temporary. I believe we were created for a purpose, and we should prepare ourselves for the eternal life that awaits us after...
