12-Year-Old Software Developer Created His Own NFT Collection!

The 12-year-old software developer has created his own NFT collection! The programmer, who has been coding since the age of 5, amazed everyone.

Benyamin Ahmed, who has been coding since he was 5 years old, lives in London. Ahmed, who does not go to school, is interested in swimming and taekwondo, while learning 'coding'. When Ahmed was just 5 years old, he started programming after watching his web developer father Imran. Ahmed started with HTML and CCS, then learned Javascript and other programs and developed his coding skills. Most recently, Ahmed's attention was drawn to NFT (non fungible tokens) digital assets, smart contracts and coding collections that cannot be divided and cannot be reproduced. Speaking with the CNBC Make It team, Ahmed said, "I learned about NFTs earlier this year and was very impressed because you can easily transfer NFTs over the blockchain, you can change hands." After these developments, Ahmed decided to create his own NFT collection. The first collection, called Minecraft Yee Haa, which started forming earlier this summer, consists of 40 colorful pixelized avatars.
