About Robert Scianatico (LookedRobob)
Robert Anthony Scianatico (A.K.A. LookedRobob), born in 2010, is a passionate web developer and founder of SodiumNodes. His first online presence was in 2017, with an unpopular blog named Compy The Computer, where he would post download links to programs as well as occasional guides.
Moving forward, in 2019 he attempted at being a YouTube content creator, debuting his experience from a YouTube channel by the name Compy The Computer. Similar to this website, he would publish basic tech tutorials, like how to install WinZip on Windows.
Although he later failed at maintaining this channel, he launched a gaming YouTube channel called Villager Boy, where he would post Minecraft gameplay videos. His channel ended up getting hacked and eventually banned, so on April 15th, 2022, he decided to create another channel by the same name. This channel also ended up getting banned, this time for no valid reason. He ended up creating a new channel, but after years of bans, he gave up and no longer pursued content creation.
On the 8th of March, 2025, with the system administration, Linux and networking knowledge he was gaining behind the scenes Scianatico founded a business called SodiumNodes, a Minecraft hosting provider, with his dad being the legal tutor. It turned out to be a success, making him gain administration experience.
