About Me


        What do you want to be when you grow up? A common innocent question that people often ask each other. It’s also a question that for a long time I’ve never been able to answer. Since I first started programming in Visual Basic in fourth grade, I always assumed that I would be in a field related to computers and technology. But by the time I was in sixth grade, my interests had changed. Instead of narrowing, they only expanded, as I explored both film and computer graphics, creating my own game engine. During the next few years of my life, I dabbed a bit with creating simulation and optimization software. But as I went into high school, I picked up new skills in web application development, game design, human computer interaction, and even mobile development. But my previous interests in film and game engines haven’t subsided. I even started both a comedy blog and a podcast. But now I think I finally have an answer. I want to be an artist-coder. Someone whose projects don’t limit themselves to one industry, one field, or even one brain hemisphere. I never truly stopped imagining and creating, and my ability to use technology has only improved with time.

        My academic skills have also improved with time. As a sophomore in high school, I have a GPA of 4.86, as well as 25 credits at local community colleges. I even took two AP exams in my freshmen year (AP Computer Science A, and AP Calculus BC), getting scores of 5 on both. I’ve won local science fairs in the past, even being awarded the Governor’s Future Innovator of the Year Award. On top of that, I’ve done over a 100 hours of community service. However, I still take the time to work on projects. To develop my skills - to create.
