const passion = ["cybersecurity", "building things"];
I'm a junior at Amador Valley High School with a deep passion for cybersecurity and building things. I love tackling complex challenges - whether it's breaking (and securing) code or building apps that people actually use.
When I'm not coding, you'll find me playing in chess, tinkering with new technologies, or exploring the latest in security research.
AVBotz - Amador Valley High School
Beat top schools such as UC Berkeley and Georgia Tech in a collegiate competition where we prepared an underwater autonomous vehicle (AUV) in order to perform a variety of tasks. Worked on autonomous systems with behavior trees, ROS 2, low-level MCU interactions with Zephyr RTOS, and simulation software.
