About Me

I'm a senior at Independence High School and Academies of Loudoun. At school, I lead a successful science olympiad team and a competitive programming club. I also love creating cool science projects and learning new things.

I compete at the national level in programming competitions and have won first place at multiple competitions including UPenn's PClassic and Lockheed Martin's CodeQuest. My technical expertise ranges from low-level kernel development in C++ and assembly to machine learning applications using Python and MATLAB.

Beyond individual projects, I created a competitive programming club with over 100 members and helped host the first ever competitive programming tournament in Loudoun County.
