Involvements: Secretary of TWHS Model United Nations, Head of Committees of TWHS Key Club, TWHS DECA Competitor, Outreach Lead of TWHS Robotics, National Honor Society Member, TWHS Track & Field Athlete
Learned the foundations of Python objects and classes, built web scraping tools to automate tasks, and developed mini-games using procedural generation.
Our LearnToBot Destination Imagination team received this award for placing 3rd in the Fine Arts Challenge at Destination Imagination’s annual competition. To achieve this award, our team’s project also won its district and state competitions.
I received this award for completing The Woodforest Bank TRI. The triathlon consisted of a 500-meter open swim, a 12.8-mile bike ride, and a 5-kilometer run.
I achieved this award for ranking first place in UT Austin's annual robotics competition. This event consisted of building and coding a robocar to traverse through a race track in the fastest time possible.
Our club was selected for this honor based on research papers we had written for the NHSMUN 2022 Conference.
My team was recognized for this honor based on our individual performance during the NHSMUN 2022 Conference.
Objective: Build an analog watch from scratch using cathode ray Nixie tubes from the 1950s.
✦ Designed printed circuit boards to keep the form factor of the watch as compact as possible.
✦ Created a Qi standard charging module for the watch to charge wirelessly.
✦ Built the watch case using resin and CNC-cut glass.
✦ Programmed the time functions of the watch in C.
Objective: Code a web-scraping bot that searches through CVS Health for articles matching specific keywords. CVS Health’s webpage did not have a native search bar at the time, so this bot made it easier for my grandfather to read specific articles.
✦ Utilized Python’s BeautifulSoup library to grab data directly from CVS Health.
A 2-D video game I made for my younger brother, Obscure follows an exterminator as he battles maggots to keep his family safe.
✦ Incorporated AI to procedurally generate maps and spawn critters in random locations at each play of the game.
✦ Allowed enemies to gradually learn player habits through machine learning.
