Hello, I'm a high school student from Long Island, New York who loves programming and electrical engineering, as well as playing the cello and erhu. From a very young age, I've been interested in CS and EE topics. Through self-studying programming concepts through a variety of books, I developed my skill and was able to self-study for both AP Computer Science exams. I'm the founder of my school's Cybersecurity Club and compete in various cybersecurity and programming competitions, such as CyberStart, Capture-the-flag, and ACSL. I'm also proficient in full-stack development on various platforms and have demonstrated competency through developing multiple complex projects, including involving the use of AI to achieve multiple awards at high school and collegiate hackathons. I have also presented my engineering projects at regional and state level science fairs. Finally, in school I enjoy learning physics, history, and math, and would love to share my knowledge with others through tutoring all sorts of subjects on this platform.
