I'm a high school student in the United States with a passion for learning and an interest in programming and computer systems.
I co-founded the Game Dev Club with some friends to create a space at my school for people interested in computers and software development. It is also an officially registered Hack Club, which gives the club support and opportunities to connect with other teens with similar interests across the world. In the first year, we had 9 members who meet weekly both inside and outside of school to show off their work and give presentations about and discuss topics like creating engaging games and versioning code with Git.
I have worked primarily with JavaScript and Node.js to create full-stack web apps, but I am also comfortable in several other languages, including Python and Java. I use Linux for my daily work, but also use Kubuntu on a server.
Last year, I was a member of the Broadneck Robotics Club, where I wrote code for my team and help other teams with code. Throughout the 2023-2024 season, we participated in multiple local competitions, learning from our losses to improve our robot. Our efforts paid off near the end of the season, when we made it into the VEX Robotics state competition.
In 2023, a friend and I competed in the MAGIC CTF cybersecurity competition, facing off against teenage programmers from across the country, and winning third place.
In February of 2024, a friend and I competed in the STEP challenge by MAGIC, creating and developing a developer profile application, which won the technology and best overall awards for 500 dollars.
I've created multiple open source projects, which, while not actively maintained, have taught me a lot of programming skills, as well as how to create and manage a project.
Throughout my 9th grade summer, I volunteered at ECO City Farms, a nonprofit farm in Prince George's County that sells affordable fresh vegetables in food deserts.
