About Me
Who I Am?
Greetings! I am a high school senior and prospective CS major from the northwest suburbs of Chicago. Having started my coding journey 5 years ago, I now develop full-stack applications for web and mobile platforms. I also enjoy creating cool and exciting programs such as games, bots, and simulations. Currently, I have taken a break from my 3-year long journey of self-learning Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning and am now co-developing a website for math students and teachers.
In addition to coding, I like to share my knowledge with others and inspire others to learn computer science. I do this by teaching the basics of coding to younger students, leading my school's hack club, helping organize and lead hackathons, posting educational articles on Medium, and keeping my software open-source.
In my free time, I love competing in hackathons and math contests. I also enjoy traveling, exploring, and taking pictures of nature. Whenever I'm not coding, I can be found playing basketball, playing Minecraft, 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!

Recogg
For a 7 week summer internship, I led a team of students and created an AI-driven, multi-platform, and scalable attendance system. The system uses a website, IoT device, API, and facial recognition to provide an efficient and resource friendly method of taking and managing attendance. We only created a prototype, which had state of the art results and the potential for true impact.
