About Me

I'm a sophomore high school student with a deep passion for technology and business. When I'm not studying for AP Calculus or World History, you can find me working on my Homelab, managing finances for my school's DECA chapter, or leading the Varsity Parliamentary Debate team as Captain.

I thrive at the intersection of code and community. Whether it's building websites for nonprofits or winning roleplay and debate competitions, I love solving problems and making an impact.
