Helping students at Stanford OHS

• Led winning teams for the OHS Labor Day Hackathon in 2024 and 2025. Worked on student-focused projects; a tech issue diagnosis software with integrated AI [demo] and AI-powered fact checker to verify social media posts [demo]. 1st place both years.
• Developed and maintain OHS AC Utilities [code] (100+ users). Offers useful download utility and AI assistant for OHS students accessing class recordings via Adobe Connect.
• As part of my volunteer role in the OHS Board of Communications, wrote a program to automatically generate eKudos emails for the board chair. blog post
• Built several tools to help students in a variety of classes understand course content.

VEX Robotics

• Led programming for VEX Robotics Competition team 315P (5+ awards including 3x tournament finalist, 1x tournament champion, 1x excellence award world division quarterfinalists). code blog post 1 blog post 2
• Led AI programming for VEX AI Robotics Competition team 3151A, including work on system design, training & running custom CV pipeline, and handling serial communications between VEX and NVIDIA hardware. Designed and wrote >9,000 lines of C++, Python, TypeScript, Rust, and shell. Also explored future-leaning work for the team that pushed the state of the art in VEX Robotics, such as GPU-accelerated Monte Carlo localization via a LiDAR. blog post 1 blog post 2 code (24-25) code (25-26)

Open source

• Contributed critical bugfixes to LemLib (most popular VEX motion control lib, used by hundreds of teams), and to the RPLiDAR C++ SDK (very commonly used LiDAR SDK made by Slamtec, likely used by thousands if not tens of thousands of projects).

• Created and maintain DishPy (Python development tool for VEX offering a significant advantage over the VEX Micropython runtime, in competitive use by many teams). [docs blog post]

• Designed, wrote, and maintain website for the Venice open source Micropython runtime for VEX V5. Active contributor to Venice CLI, involving low-level serial code.

• Wrote several blog posts helping dozens of fellow competitors across the

  • US,
  • Canada,
  • Hong Kong,
  • Thailand,
  • Romania,
  • the Czech Republic,
  • and more

  with advanced topics in VEX.

Miscellaneous

• Advent of Code 2024 participant [code blog post]
• USACO Silver competitor. [code]
• Cofounded, maintain, and lead architectural decisions and code review for Dotlist and Dotlist Lite, a family of open-source productivity managers.

Non-programming related

• Volunteer at several robotics competitions throughout the year; mentor new teams at an annual Girl Powered robotics workshop.
• Elected teaching assistant and peer tutor for math courses at OHS.
• Volunteer in the OHS student government’s Board of Communications; wrote code to massively speed up the operations of the board.
