My journey
First code
Taught myself to program at eight, with free courses and a
long trail of broken projects.
Started a free coding class for local kids at nine. It became
a nonprofit, leading 40+ volunteers, providing free STEM education to thousands
of students, sponsored by UBC Science, the UBC Alumni Centre, BMO, and more,
from cold emails.
Joined a UBC embodied-AI research project as the youngest
developer on the team, shipping alongside master’s and PhD students.
Home robotics startup
Worked on a human-centric home robotics startup, met lots of
interesting people.
UBC
Started computer science as the youngest Schulich Leader.
