Researcher · Engineer · Founder
I'm an 11th-grade engineer and researcher at Fulton Science Academy in Alpharetta, GA, simultaneously taking courses at Georgia Tech. I've published peer-reviewed research in Elsevier journals, led my FTC team to the World Premier Event in our rookie season, interned at robotics and AI companies, and founded three organizations — all before finishing high school.
My work spans robotics, machine learning, computational mathematics, and software engineering. I approach problems with rigor: whether designing PID controllers for rocket air brakes, co-authoring topology research with university professors, or building production RAG applications at internships.
Beyond technical work, I believe in sharing knowledge and creating access. I teach AP Physics, Calculus, and Precalculus as a TA, lead a 44-member Model UN club as president, and run Plants for Purpose — a nonprofit funding pediatric cancer research.
