Worked with a team in this competition held by Innovative Defense Technologies (IDT). Teams had to provide IDT, the ”customer,” with a robust package tracking solution. Out of about 60 teams that participated, about 20 were able to submit full solutions. Won $1500 for TJ and received tablets for winning 1st place.

Received a gold medal on the National Latin Exam (NLE) during every year of Latin taken.

Received a 1600 on the new SAT and did not miss any questions. Was one of only 30 students who received a 1600 on this administration of the SAT.

Earned a 5 on all AP exams taken: Biology, Computer Science, and Statistics.

Selected into a team of six from sophomore class to compete in this chemistry competition hosted by the University of Maryland. Competed in lab- and test-based events.

Selected as part of the top 4 from TJ Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA) to participate in this case competition hosted by the University of Virginia. Given a case for a real local company called The Pie Guy and had to develop solutions for the company.

Organized a team in this computer security competition hosted by Radford University, and awarded a scholarship.

Won 1st place at this piano recital in the advanced level, which includes grades 6, 7, and 8.

Full-scholarship, 7-week international camp established in 1930 promoting leadership and service. Planned and led project to construct a sundial, which became a symbol for the camp.

Learn algorithms and participate in contests.

Write and give lectures every other week as well as assign lectures to other officers for weekly meetings. Take care of logistical tasks such as creating selection processes for choosing members to participate in competitions. In the first American Computer Science League (ACSL) contest, which is the main contest the team participates in, 7 out of 45 members received perfect scores.

Refurbish old or broken computers and donate them to those in need.

Participate in school’s cross country, winter track, and spring track programs.

Have played piano competitively for many years and graduated from Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music (ABRSM) Grade 8 (highest grade) with merit. Currently play at charity events and for personal enjoyment.

One of the assignments for my Artificial Intelligence class was to develop an Othello AI (Othello, also known as Reversi, is a board game). I went much beyond the assignment requirements, which only required alpha-beta pruning. I did online research on my own, learning about and then implementing NegaScout. I also ran thousands of tests to determine optimal heuristics. In total, I developed 10 versions of my AI, each better than the last, with my first version already having a 100% win rate against a random player (which most of my peers did not achieve by their last versions).

My team made this website at HackTJ 2016 and we won first place. The website aims to teach users both Mandarin definitions and pronunciations. To do this, it uses speech recognition to determine whether the user's pronunciation is correct, and it uses text-to-speech to tell the user how to pronounce the phrase if he or she is stuck. It uses the Google Web Speech API for speech recognition and the Voice RSS API for text-to-speech. It also uses Bootstrap for the front-end and Flask for the back-end.

As our final project for my Web Programming class, a friend and I developed a website that allows one to write and run code in Python by voice.

My team made this website at HackTJ 2015 and we were selected into the top 10, the only sophomore team to be chosen. The website uses Twitter data and MetaMind, a deep learning API, to determine sentiment towards the 2016 presidential candidates.

In order to learn about Markov chains, I decided to write my own program using them. My Python program processes text and produces a "typical" sentence using a Markov chain. It has several options for generation of sentences, including node size and method of generation.

A friend and I are developing a Facebook Messenger bot that uses Amazon's Alexa Voice Service to allow people to communicate with Amazon Echo remotely and through text rather than speech.

Part of the TJ Peer Tutoring club and tutor those who need help with Artificial Intelligence.

Organization aims to expose elementary and middle schoolers to Computer Science early on. I contacted more than 40 companies and acquired sponsorships from companies such as MongoDB and Pebble for organization’s first big event, CODEt Day. Also teach at periodic workshops.
