01 About
I build things, and I love teaching others to build them too.
I'm a rising 9th grader heading to Skyline High School. For the last three years I've been lead programmer on an international-award-winning FIRST robotics team, shipping autonomous code for competition and keeping the codebase reliable across three seasons.
Outside the shop I mentor younger students — 8 teammates learning Java for FTC, and 11 younger kids (ages 8–11) across two FLL teams. The thing I love most about building is getting other people excited to build too.
Right now I'm pitching a startup at the TiE Young Entrepreneurs competition and shipping TeamForge, an open-source ops platform for robotics teams.
