A builder, a leader, a student.
Hey there! I'm a 18 year old full-stack developer who loves to learn by building. I study at the North Carolina School of Science and Mathematics, and in my free time I ship web and mobile apps with React, lead a robotics team, and much more!
My journey into code started with Java and Node.js, running Minecraft servers and building discord bots. That introduced me to databases and big codebases early. Now I build with organizations like TSA and DECA, and design, fabricate, and program robots with FTC teams 8569 RoboKnights and 22377 SigmaCorns.

Joining FTC.
High school junior me thought I'd give robotics a try for the first time. I joined team 8569 RoboKnights, and learned basic control theory.
Expanding my horizons.
Looking to learn more, I dove deeper in programming and learning CAD. I developed novel control systems, helping me with awards at international competitions. I also worked to model parts online and contributing to the mechanical bot.
From member to leader.
At the beginning of my senior year, I was named captain of my team. I excelled at developing strategies to train and integrate new members, and motivated my team to build more competative robots than we had ever built before.
A new opportunity.
I started working more with team 22377 SigmaCorns to dive deeper into robotics programming. The focus shifted from not just building a competative robot, but to fully optimizing every bit of it we could.
