Innovative Young Entrepreneur in Technology and Engineering

My journey

At age 10, I was gifted a book called, something along the lines of, ‘How to code: 101’. I was an energetic kid back then and I usually couldn’t sit down to read a book for more than a couple minutes. Despite this, I shuffled over to the family computer and sat down, curious of what I could conjure up. After typing in a few commands prompted by the book, a spinning rectangle appeared on the screen; my eyes immediately lit up. I believe that’s when my passion for coding and technology truly started. From there on, I went on to create many games and applications, join a couple hack-a-thon’s, and branch out my passion to cybersecurity and Artificial Intelligence. At age 15, I started to work at a place called Code Ninjas, where I continued to develop my coding skills further by teaching them to younger kids and teenagers. For the past year, I’ve been building up my resume and developing projects, with others, that we plan to deploy soon. I’m currently a college student majoring in Electrical Engineering at UT Martin, where I will continue to push boundaries and develop solutions for real-world problems.
