DEV DEGREE
HYPE HOUSE

CODE. BUILD. FLEX. REPEAT.

Four Shopify Dev Degree interns, one house, and a truly unreasonable pile of side projects. We're here to build dumb-cool stuff, level each other up, and have way too much fun doing it. No lectures. No mentorship arc. Just shits & giggles and shipped code.

The House

Home base is 312 Glenayr Road — an iconic Tudor-revival brick-and-stone home in Forest Hill South, Toronto: 5 beds, 5 baths, and 3,500–5,000 sq ft. One bedroom per gremlin, a pool for “we'll debug it later,” and a red maple out front that has witnessed things. Inside: too many monitors, a wall of sticky notes, and the gentle clack of midnight commits.

312 Glenayr Road · Forest Hill, Toronto

5 beds · 5 baths

Five bedrooms across 2.5 storeys — a room, a desk, and a dream to ship for every resident.

Basement build lab

A finished-basement rec room the size of a war room — the 24/7 build cave.

Private pool

Park-like backyard with an inground pool. Demo-night cannonballs guaranteed.

Forest Hill South

Brick-and-stone on a prestigious street — steps from TTC, schools & the hospital.

“This is where we code, build, flex & repeat — pancakes at noon, deploys before dinner, and demo nights under the maple. Four interns, zero adult supervision. Come cause chaos with us!”

The Crew

Four Dev Degree interns, one house, a combined 4 GitHub stars (all Liam's) and unlimited confidence. The names are real. The stats are… technically verifiable, which is the funny part.

Kieran Bendell

Founder & Chief Zero-Star Officer

since 2018 · stars: 0 · faith: unbroken

Built LiqMcp — a whole MCP server for Liquipedia esports data — plus 73KB of hand-forged competitive C++ in DMOJ-Solutions, then wired up this very house. Seven years on GitHub, a flawless zero-star lifetime record, and zero intention of stopping.

@youknowme007

Jeff Zhang

The Wildcard · Freshly Materialized

account age: weeks · repos: 0 · lore: loading…

Blinked into existence on GitHub in Feb 2026 — brand new, zero repos, no backstory. Nobody's sure where he came from, and that's exactly the threat level the house respects.

@lumair_

Liam West

The Polyglot · Terminal Gremlin

langs: 10 · Tetris ports: 3 · distro: Arch (verified)

Handle is the literal Arch install ISO — and the public dotfiles + neovim config finally back up the “I use Arch btw.” Ten languages deep: rebuilt Tetris in Python, C# and the terminal, did 2048 in Haskell, grinds Advent of Code in Rust — and personally owns all 4 of the house's GitHub stars.

@archiso7

Tina Kaus

Chief Vibes Officer

repos: 0 · cool stuff: all the time

Her real GitHub bio reads “Let's do cool stuff all the time” — a mission statement with a zero-repo attach rate. All vision, no version control, 100% hype uptime.

@tqbed

The Advisor · Chief Disclaimer Officer

“As this household's official legal, moral & vibes advisor, I am contractually obligated to disclose that approximately 99% of this website is complete and utter bullshit. The remaining 1% is the address — and even that's rented.”

Say hi to Hyper

Teal twin-tails, a custom DDHH hoodie, and an unreasonable amount of hype — Hyper is the house's very own Discord bot and unofficial fifth roommate. Built with discord.js + TypeScript, she lives in the server and reps the four of us on every stream, every clip, and every questionable 3am commit.

She's also our AI esports hype-officer: powered by a Liquipedia MCP, she answers match questions, schedules recurring posts, runs slash commands on demand, and reminds everyone that a broken build is just a plot twist.

</> What we actually do

The Vibe

Six things we do on repeat. All of them loud, most of them slightly ill-advised.

Ship dumb-cool stuff

Side projects, half-baked ideas, and the occasional actually-useful app.

Build in public

Livestreams and pair-programming. Learning out loud — mistakes fully included.

Content & clips

Devlogs, shorts, and highlight reels straight from the chaos.

Hackathons & jams

Weekend sprints, wild ideas, and demo nights under the maple.

Level up together

Four interns, no gurus. We swap tricks and get better as a squad.

Touch grass (barely)

Pool days, snack runs, and the rare, sacred moment we all log off.
