Summary

Tanmay Bakshi, a 13-year-old Canadian developer, has built drones that take flight commands via text using Twilio, facial recognition login programs with two-factor authentication, and an application called "Ask Tanmay" which allows users to interact with him via text. He started programming at age 5 and released his first iOS app, tTables, at 9 years old. Now, he aims to reach 100,000 developers by the time he turns 15, using sophisticated methods such as YouTube tutorials, Facebook Live promotions, and IBM Bluemix tools like Watson and Twilio. His development tools include NodeJS, a handy SDK, and a Node AR drone, which are used in his drone hack powered by Twilio and IBM Watson. Tanmay's goal is to share his knowledge and inspire other developers, particularly beginners, as he chases his ultimate goal of reaching 100,000 developers.
