My background

Github profile

I’m a computer science-oriented freshman at Stanford Online High School based in the Bay Area.

Academics

• Multivariable Calculus and AP Biology equivalents (freshman year).

Work experience

• Founding engineer at JV Copilot, a small startup simplifying joint venture marketing (>$12,000 of preorders; 50,000 lines of code). I focus on our backend, managing large-scale and cost-efficient orchestration of several external services to create a fluid experience for our users.

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 the hackathon-winning OHS AC Utilities [code] (300+ users). Offers useful download utility and AI assistant for OHS students accessing class recordings via Adobe Connect.
• Volunteer in the OHS student government’s Board of Communications; wrote code to massively speed up the operations of the board, and built an application to automate manual labor for school events. Also reverse-engineered and reimplemented in TypeScript the API of a chat app we use, leveraging AI to build a “Bulletin Bard” which summarizes school events for the upcoming month [code].
• 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 hundreds of fellow competitors across the

  • US,
  • Canada,
  • Hong Kong,
  • Thailand,
  • Romania,
  • the Czech Republic,
  • the Philippines
  • and more (>15 countries)

  with advanced topics in VEX.

Miscellaneous

• Advent of Code 2024 participant [code blog post]
• USACO Silver competitor [code] (currently on hold). Member of Stanford OHS’s ACSL Senior Division team.
• Cofounded, maintain, and lead architectural decisions and code review for Dotlist and Dotlist Lite, a family of open-source productivity managers.
• Maintain the website for a local real estate contracting company.

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.
