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

I’m a high school engineer in Georgia. Coding is my version of video games. I get an idea, something pushes back on it, and I keep going until it works. “One last thing” turns into 4 am.

I’m extremely competitive. I’d 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 Attack on Titan 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 want to be is still far ahead of me, and I want to see how close I can get.

My research is on the evolutionary side of AI. I love it because there’s no ceiling: you can’t predict what it will come up with. I also care a lot about design and philosophy, and most of what I make sits where the two meet. Before this, I interned at Zamp.

I’m a high school engineer in Georgia, class of 2028. Coding is my version of video games. What hooks me is the loop: I get an idea, the problem or another person pushes back, I rework it, and then it exists. “One last thing” turns into 4 am.

That loop is why I love making apps. I’m building Amphi, a platform for structured debate with a steelman mode, reading circles, and a public-domain text archive. We are a team of 2, and I write all the code. Before that, I co-built Civic, which turns a resident’s photo of a pothole into a routed work order, and I interned at Zamp.

It’s also why the creative side of Roblox games pulled me in. After 4 years in Roblox games, I’m creating one with Zioles as its project manager and creative director, with equity. I lead 15+ developers and design the character concepts.

My research is on LLM-driven evolutionary search. I love the evolutionary side of AI because there’s no ceiling: a loop of mutation and selection keeps producing things nobody planned.

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