I'm a high school senior from Bellevue, WA building at the intersection of aerospace engineering and software. I started my first company at 15, published independent research at 17, and I love building things!
Real-time computer vision system that automatically classifies household waste into recycling, compost, and landfill. Trained a TensorFlow/Keras CNN from scratch, iterated through 4 hardware versions to get from 60% → 89% accuracy, and designed a full iOS app in Swift with Bluetooth integration.
Won the $15,000 T-Mobile Changemaker Grand Prize.
Founded a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that teaches rocketry, CAD, and flight dynamics to middle schoolers from underserved communities. Grew from 10 to 60+ students across two campuses, raised $10,000+ from Blue Origin and T-Mobile, and launched a second chapter at Tyee Middle School whose team qualified for TARC Nationals 2026.
Built a Python + Ansible pipeline for automated network monitoring, vulnerability scanning (Nmap), and DDoS detection. Wrote Netmiko scripts to automate WAP migrations and VLAN audits. Also built a tool that enumerates live IPs, runs Nmap against them, and outputs a formatted report of legacy SSL/TLS instances.

Modeled airport noise exposure by combining source-level assumptions, terrain elevation, and land use data. Built geospatial sound maps in Python + QGIS and validated outputs against FAA Part 150 reference data.
Investigated whether surface textures from shark skin and humpback whale fins could reduce aerodynamic drag on model rockets. Ran CFD simulations in ANSYS Fluent and achieved 8–12% drag reduction at subsonic speeds.
Published as sole author in the Journal of High School Science (19% acceptance rate). Placed 3rd out of 191 teams at MIT IEEE Undergraduate Research Conference — the only high schooler in the top placements.
