Highly accomplished and technically proficient student with a strong focus on innovation, computer science, and engineering. I have demonstrated exceptional initiative as a self-taught programmer, earning a globally recognized PCEP Python certification, participating in numerous hackathons, and developing their own AI model. This technical expertise extends to robotics, where they served as a Team Leader for the VEX Robotics Club, leading strategy and coding for competitions, and winning the prestigious "Think Award" for programming at the state level. Furthermore, my entrepreneurial spirit is evident through their self-initiated invention, a plant care device called "EcoStake," for which they secured a provisional patent, following up on work done as the Financial Lead for TiE DC. I have also leveraged my skills professionally as an Intern in Technology Services at The Catholic University of America, where I have collaborated on improving IT infrastructure, troubleshooting desktop systems, and maintaining servers.
Beyond my technical achievements, I have demonstrated profound leadership and a strong commitment to community service and the arts. As Vice President and later President of VT Seva, an international non-profit, I have lead a STEM summer camp with over 100 participants and secured a $5,000 sponsorship. My dedication to philanthropy includes raising over $1,500 for tribal schools and organizing major charity event logistics, accumulating over 400 volunteer hours. This passion for education and service continued as a volunteer teacher in a low-income area of India, where they taught Scratch and robotics fundamentals. Balancing my STEM and service endeavors, I have also excelled in the arts as the Section Leader of the Marching Band, contributing to Three State Championship wins and competing at Super Regionals, placing 17th of 90 bands nationally.
