About Me
Who I Am?
Greetingsđź––! I am a freshman in the B.S. in Computer Science program at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
My main passion is creating robust, appealing, and reliable software that puts smiles on people's faces.
I mainly work with websites and artificial intelligence/machine learning, but I have also built mobile apps, 2D/3D games, bots, and mathematical simulations.
Outside of the technical domain, I have marketing, business, and UI/UX design experience.
Currently, I am in the process of releasing Kontest, a collaborative review game website for students and teachers.
In addition to coding, I like to lead and inspire others to learn computer science. I have taught computer science to younger students, led my school's hack club, organized hackathons, and published educational articles on Medium.
In my free time, I love competing in hackathons and math contests. I also enjoy weightlifting, biking, and taking pictures of nature. Whenever I'm not coding, I can be found playing basketball, listening to a podcast, or reading a thoughtful book.

Buy or $hort
For HackMIT 2020, a virtual hackathon hosted by MIT with over 1600 participants and 400 projects, I worked with three other high school students to create Buy or $hort, a fast-paced financial literacy game. By comparing long term and short term factors for a stock, the user (a child, teen, adult, or senior citizen) learns how to safely invest in the stock market. The game is full of unique data visualizations, vibrant UI, and much more!
