I am an incoming freshman at MIT with experience in US Math Olympiads (USA IMO TST, USAMO, AMM), Coding Olympiads (USACO), and Physics (USAPhO). Outside of academics, I love spending time outdoors with friends. Growing up in the PNW, I enjoyed plenty of biking, hiking, kayaking, and skiing throughout the year.

Projects

USACO Study Archive Archive of implementations to most of the competition programming problems I have solved. This repository was maintained in 2022 and 2023. OTIS (USAMO) Archive Archive of unit submissions to Evan Chen's Olympiad Training for Inspanidual Study (OTIS). Appropriate information have been removed to protect OTIS handout security. Layer 2 Attacks Lab This lab provides instructions for conducting and mitigating three different layer 2 attacks in a simulated LAN: DHCP pool starvation attack, CAM table overflow attack, and ARP spoofing attack. BGP Setup Lab This lab provides instructions for setting up three distinct routing protocols connected by the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP). Specifically, the commands and steps required to set up the Open Shortest Path First (OSPF), Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP), and Intermediate System-to-Intermediate System (IS-IS) routing protocols over IPv4 and IPv6. Local AI on LAN Lab Download and set up a locally run AI hosted on our device. In addition to being able to select and use the AI without any internet connection on our device, other devices on the LAN may also access the AI through a web browser. Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) Lab Through setting up a multi-router network with two Layer 3 switches routed by OSPF, this lab simultaneously covers the setup of multi-Area OSPF and the use of a Layer 3 switch for router purposes. CLF-C02 Cloud Computing Labs I Practice using the AWS Management Console accessed through a web browser to achieve setting up many services or networks, such as virtual machines, virtual networks, and security policies for a hypothetical company. CLF-C02 Cloud Computing Labs II More exercises of the AWS concepts covered in later sections of the AWS Cloud Foundations course to train users in familiarity with using the AWS management system in sample corporate scenarios.

Research and Job Experience
Since March 2025

Founder/CEO, MOPDash

In response to complaints about food, I founded a low-cost meal delivery service for all campers and staff to use at the 2025 Mathematical Olympiad Summer Program (MOP). I recruited 13 MOP students who would run to nearby restaurants and make deliveries through an ordering system I designed using a Discord bot. We ran 49 orders in 3 weeks worth nearly $1000 in total, and delivered over 15 meal times

Researcher, Non-Trivial Research Program

Developed a research project on the efficacy of various policies of AI use in education. Through literary review, designed an 8-week research plan and completed the research proposal

Leadership, Coaching, and Volunteering
Since 2022 in the Greater Seattle Area

Founder / Head Coach, BASIS Competitive Coding Club

I wrote lecture notes, led live lectures, ran placement test, organized clubwide events (e.g. game theory Halloween activity), and assisted students with questions outside of classes. Club membership grew from 13 to 28 students. Six students advanced to USACO Silver and one to USACO Gold

Coach → Advisor, Tyee Competition Math Club

In addition to the usual lecture notes and live lectures, also wrote problems for placement test, MathCounts school selection test, and intramural contest

President, Newport Math Club

Team leader, problem writer, test solver, and test coordinator for the Knights of Pi Tournament (KPMT)
Design and lead meetings for club members ranging from lectures to group activities
