Short
Liam Adams is a 15-year-old entrepreneur and developer from Rural Hall, North Carolina. He has been building since age 8 and made his first $1,000 online in an hour at age 9. Today he is the founder of CoDuck, a vibecoding tool that lets anyone describe an app and have it built. He previously built MindBloom, a gamified productivity app for neurodivergent minds that reached around 250,000 visits in three months, and he is the #1-ranked 14-year-old BMX racer in North Carolina (2025).

Liam Adams is a 15-year-old entrepreneur and software developer from Rural Hall, North Carolina. He started building at age 8, running Minecraft servers out of his bedroom — collecting donations, writing plugins, and managing a team of volunteer moderators. At 9 he made his first $1,000 online in a single hour: his realm fit ten players at a time, so he used Xbox’s Looking For Group system to send the invite to roughly two million people, and about 30,000 tried to join.
At 13 he built his first real product, MindBloom — gamified productivity for neurodivergent minds — which reached around 250,000 visits in three months before he stepped away from it. Today his focus is CoDuck, a vibecoding tool with the simplest possible pitch: you describe an app, and it builds it. He has earned a few grants and is working to close the repetitive gaps in current vibecoding tools. He also runs ARIA, a personal AI agent he texts from iMessage.
Away from the screen, Liam is the #1-ranked 14-year-old BMX racer in North Carolina (2025), racing across the country since he was nine. He is homeschooled, reads widely across philosophy, religion, and AI, and wants to open doors for other young people who want to build.

I’m Liam, 15, from Rural Hall, North Carolina. I build software, and right now I’m building CoDuck, a vibecoding tool.
Short
I’m Liam, 15, from Rural Hall, North Carolina. I’ve been building since I was eight, and I made my first $1,000 online in an hour when I was nine. Right now I’m building CoDuck, a vibecoding tool — you describe an app and it builds it. Before that I built MindBloom, which hit around 250,000 visits in three months. I also race BMX; in 2025 I was the #1 ranked 14-year-old in North Carolina.

I’m Liam. I’m 15, homeschooled, and I’ve been building things since I was eight — back then it was Minecraft servers I ran out of my bedroom. When I was nine I made my first $1,000 online in a single hour. My realm only fit ten people at a time, so I used Xbox’s Looking For Group system to send the invite to about two million people. Around 30,000 tried to join.
These days my focus is CoDuck, a vibecoding tool. You describe an app and it builds it. I’ve gotten a few grants and learned a ton from running it, and my goal is to fill the annoying, repetitive gaps in current vibecoding. Before CoDuck I built MindBloom, gamified productivity for neurodivergent minds. It got to around 250,000 visits in three months and then I walked away. Nothing broke and the market wasn’t telling me to quit — I just lost the motivation, and I still have no clue why. I run a couple things on the side too, like ARIA, a personal AI agent I text from iMessage. You can’t ship one thing 24/7.
Outside of building, I race BMX. In 2025 I was the #1 ranked 14-year-old in North Carolina. Four broken collarbones and a cracked tailbone in, and I still can’t really tell you why I love it — I just do.

Story angles
The 9-year-old who made $1,000 online in an hour
Running a Minecraft realm that fit ten people at a time, Liam used Xbox’s Looking For Group system to send the invite to roughly two million players. About 30,000 tried to join.
A 15-year-old building in the vibecoding wave
CoDuck is his current focus: you describe an app and it builds it. A teenager building an AI dev tool is a timely, concrete angle on where the category is going.
Walking away from a product that was working
MindBloom, his gamified productivity app for neurodivergent minds, reached ~250,000 visits in three months. He walked away — not because it failed, but because he lost the motivation, and he’s honest that he doesn’t fully know why.
Founder and athlete
He’s also the #1-ranked 14-year-old BMX racer in North Carolina (2025) — four broken collarbones and a cracked tailbone in. The builder-who-races combination makes for a fuller profile.
Homeschooled teen entrepreneur
Building since age 8 out of Rural Hall, NC — a local human-interest angle for regional outlets.
