Web developer. Researcher. Change-maker. I use code to tackle mental health stigma, education inequality, and food insecurity — one project at a time.
I'm a high school student who started coding because I wanted to solve problems that actually matter. Not just build for the sake of building — but create tools that make someone's day, week, or life genuinely better.
My work sits at the crossroads of technology and social equity. I research, design, and build web apps that open doors for young people and communities that are too often left out of the tech conversation.
I'm applying to study Computer Science to keep doing exactly this — but at a bigger scale.
Each project starts with a real problem — or a real curiosity. Here's what I made.
A browser-based platformer where only light is solid — darkness is void. Players aim a lantern to reveal hidden platforms hidden in shadow, racing to reach the golden door. Built from scratch with custom physics, collision detection, and multi-level design.
What started as a creative coding challenge became a meditation on perception. Umbra taught me more about JavaScript, canvas rendering, and game loops than any tutorial ever could.
A stigma-free, youth-friendly web platform that connects teens to mental health resources, peer stories, and crisis support — in a space that actually feels safe to use.
A web app that helps community gardens plan smarter using real-time weather data, seasonal planting tips, and a neighborhood board where locals swap seeds, tools, and harvests.
I grew up watching people in my community struggle to find the resources they needed — not because those resources didn't exist, but because no one had made them easy to find. I started learning to code because I realized: I could fix that.
Every project I build starts with a real person in mind. A teen who doesn't know where to turn. A student who can't afford a tutor. A neighbor trying to grow food for their family. Technology can reach those people — if we build it for them.
Whether you're a mentor, admissions reader, fellow student, or someone who wants to collaborate on something meaningful — I'd love to hear from you.
