About

As an ambitious high schooler, life is hard. Despite being a full time AP student, I'm very passionate about business and software development. In the summer of 2024, I built my first investor-backed SAAS startup with over $9.6k in revenue. Now, I'm interning at one of the biggest entrepreneurship incubators in the US, in the works of launching my next big tech startup, and competed in over 7+ hackathons for fun. For fun, I like to make professional video games, do competitive programming, and publish research!

Hackathons

I like building things

During my time in high school, I attended 7+ hackathons. People from around the country would come together and build incredible things in 2-3 weeks. It was eye-opening to see the endless possibilities brought to life by a group of motivated and passionate individuals. As I continue to progress in my hackathon journey, I'll log my best wins here.
