About Me

A personal statement for colleges and anyone viewing my portfolio.

Who I Am

I’m a student at Academies of Loudoun in Academy of Engineering & Technology (AET) and Rock Ridge High School in Ashburn, VA, specializing in Information Technology(IT). Who loves building at the intersection of AI, the brain, and real-world impact. Over the last few years, I’ve done research at Harvard Medical School and two University of Chicago labs, working on projects from dementia and Parkinson’s detection with machine learning to visual working memory in humans.

I'm also a two-time IEEE author and a VEX Robotics Worlds qualifier, but the work I'm proudest of is MiniMakers , a program I co-founded that has taught 400+ younger students coding and robotics and raised $8,000+ for education and community service initiatives in India. Whether I'm debugging a model, designing a robot, or helping a middle-schooler run their first Python script, I'm most excited when I'm using technology to understand people better and give more students access to the opportunities that changed my own life.
