I’m a software engineer, aspiring entrepreneur, and high school senior.
I’ve been working with startups for 2 years and with code since I turned 11. I’m also a boy scout and I love being outdoors.
I’m fascinated by the problems that people face. How can we reduce the wealth gap? Why are there still people living on $2 a day? How can public education actually be effective? How can we stop climate change without great sacrifices? How can I do more work in less time? A lot of problems can, in some way, be solved by technology. When I was little, I imagined doing something BIG as an adult - I imagined building a city in the sky, powered by helicopter blades. Now, I can do something BIG with technology.

About the Portfolio
This is inspired by the work of Otto Baumberger, who made some cool posters a long time ago. I especially incorporated his 2d and geometric work. All the colors here were found somewhere on his work.
