My interest in computer science and programming started in elementary school, where I took a community college class on robotics over the summer. Since then, I've been enthralled by the functions of electronic devices. I went to Natomas Pacific Pathways Prep (Otherwise known as NP3) for high school, where I learned about law and civic engagement. While in High School, I continued my interest in electronics by programming Arduino and Basic Stamp micro-controllers for small hardware projects. Programming those devices lead me into software development. I moved from Arduino to Processing then to Java and onward.
I came to MIT in the fall of 2016. While here, I joined two clubs renowned for empowering students with access to technology: The Student Information Processing Board (SIPB), and TechX. The SIPB has a focus on providing computing services to the MIT community. These services include scripts, XVM, and Debathena. TechX is an Umbrella organization for several organizations, each tasked with a specific means of connecting students with technology. These include the student hackathons HackMIT and MakeMIT, as well as XFair, a career fair in February for MIT students. Other committees include ProjX, Think and Blueprint. I'm part of two subcommittees of TechX: ProjX and Dev-ops. ProjX distributes thousands of dollars to student projects every year, along with providing support and resources to make student projects succeed. TechX Dev-ops is an internal committee tasked with building and deploying software solutions that all of techX uses.
Despite having worked on software development and app deployment in recent years, I am interested in transitioning into the field of artificial intelligence and using mathematics and functional programming to create secure programs.
