Undergraduate research, competition robotics, and the programs I helped build to get more students into computing.
Research under Dr. Lee through the UTRGV High Scholars Program, evaluating which filter in the ugrizy set performs best on the Legacy Survey of Space and Time at Rubin Observatory when using the Tip of the Red Giant Branch distance method. I built color-magnitude diagrams across stellar ages and metallicities from simulated survey data and presented the results as a paper and poster.
A nonprofit dedicated to teaching students with special needs about STEM fields. I served as a board member, helping plan curriculum and run sessions.
Member of FIRST teams 5417 and 5788, which competed at the FIRST World Championship in 2024. The team also runs outreach programs such as WISE and Eaglets to bring younger students into STEM.
A nonprofit I founded with friends to teach programming to children, built on the idea that learning to code early sharpens critical thinking. I wrote and taught a seven-lesson introductory curriculum.
