I’m a high school engineer in Georgia. Coding is my version of playing video games: “one last thing” turns into going to sleep at 4 am. I build Amphi, run Open Literacy for 5,000+ students, research evolutionary AI, and am creating a Roblox game with Zioles as project manager and creative director.

I’m a high school engineer in Georgia. Coding is my version of playing video games: I get an idea, something pushes back on it, and then I get to watch it come to life. “One last thing” turns into going to sleep at 4 am.

I’m extremely competitive, and I would rather lose to someone better than win something easy. I read Nietzsche and Dostoevsky because I want to know why people do what they do, and I take shows like Monster and Blue Lock more seriously than I should. Most days I’m not sure what I’m making is good enough. I make it anyway. The person I’m trying to become is still a long way ahead of me, and I want to find out how close I can get.

My research is on the evolutionary side of AI, which I love because it is limitless. Making something novel that way is beautiful to me. I have a knack for design and philosophy, and most of what I make sits where the two meet. Previously, I interned at Zamp.

I’m a high school engineer in Georgia, class of 2028. Coding is my version of playing video games. The part I’m hooked on is the creative loop: I get an idea, the problem or another person challenges it, I rework it, and then it exists. “One last thing” turns into going to sleep at 4 am.

That loop is why I love creating apps. Amphi is a platform for structured debate with a steelman mode, reading circles, and a public-domain text archive, written solo as a TypeScript monorepo. Before that I co-built Civic, which turns a resident’s photo of a pothole into a routed work order. Previously, I interned at Zamp.

It is also why I keep learning new things, and why the creative roles in Roblox games became a passion. After 4 years in Roblox games, I’m creating one with Zioles as project manager and creative director with equity, leading 15+ developers and designing character concepts.

My research is on LLM-driven evolutionary search. I love the evolutionary side of AI because it is limitless: a loop of mutation and selection can keep producing things nobody planned. Making something novel that way is beautiful to me.

Outside of code, I run Open Literacy, a non-profit teaching finance and AI through 101 free lessons to 5,000+ students in the United States, Germany, and India, handle outreach for a 700+ member FBLA chapter, play varsity tennis, and read a lot of philosophy.
