About

I'm a high school sophomore who builds software for fun. I spend my time prototyping with code, competing in DECA, and serving as a Massachusetts DECA State Co-President.

Recently I've been working on automation tools, small games, and utilities. I qualified for ICDC this year in Principles of Finance and placed Top 5 at States.
