My Robotics Journey
Exploring programming, robotics, gaming, and drawing with enthusiasm and dedication in high school journey.
About me
My journey in modeling systems began at age 9, when I built my first robot and competed in FLL, learning the fundamentals of programming and design using Lego Mindstorms and Scratch.
This early experience sparked my passion for robotics, leading me to take on the role of hardware and software lead for FTC Team X. Over the past three years, I’ve designed and programmed AI-driven robots with custom hardware and sensors. I developed algorithms and mathematical models to tackle complex missions utilizing Java and Tensorflow, getting inspiration from how systems function in the real world.
My team qualified for the Nocal Regionals and earned five awards—Design, Motivate, Inspire, Innovate, and Think - recognizing my creativity, problem-solving, and leadership.
My passion for STEM-inspired me to pursue mentoring others in programming, design, and game strategies. With over 75 volunteer hours spent mentoring students, running workshops, and promoting STEM in my community, I was honored with the Presidential Volunteer Service Award (PVSA).

Robotics Outreach
I am part of an FTC (FIRST Tech Challenge) team where we design, build, and program robots to compete in exciting challenges, while also engaging in outreach to inspire younger students to explore robotics. Being on the team has sharpened my technical skills and reinforced the value of teamwork, creativity, and giving back to the community.
Tri-Valley Innovation Fair
We had an unforgettable time sharing our passion for robotics with kids and parents, demonstrating our "Robo Shooter" EV3 ball-shooting robot and showcasing our website as a gateway to the world of FIRST. Seeing the kids’ curiosity and wonder reminded us of the joy of inspiring the next generation of innovators and future roboticists.
Innovation at Makerspace
At the fair, we had an incredible time connecting with parents and kids, showcasing our website as a gateway to FIRST and sparking excitement with our "Robo Shooter," an EV3 ball-shooting robot that amazed young enthusiasts. The Makerspace event celebrated innovation, creativity, and technology, fostering a collaborative community that left everyone inspired and ready to explore the endless possibilities of robotics.
Hearst Elementary School
Our team eagerly set up after school, quickly attracting curious attendees of all ages who were excited to learn about our robot and the wonders of STEM. Engaging with children, especially as they marveled at our drone launcher and LEGO robots, was both inspiring and rewarding, sparking their curiosity and imagination.
Fallon Middle school
Our team enthusiastically set up after school, quickly drawing in curious attendees eager to explore our robot and the wonders of STEM. From first graders discovering robotics to fifth graders sharing their impressive knowledge, the children’s excitement and fascination with our drone launcher and LEGO robots made the event truly inspiring and rewarding.
One of the greatest things that made this event successful was the interest sparked by the young ones at the fair. Most elementary schoolers were completely new to the field of robotics, they viewed robots as a cartoon, or they simply didn't know a thing about robotics but when we allowed them to observe the robot and allow them to drop pixels on the mat for the robot to pick-up there could be nothing more beautiful than seeing the elementary schoolers smile and be confident that they would be willing to join competing in robotics.
Alisal Elementary School
John Green Elementary School
At this outreach event, elementary schoolers eagerly explored robotics, captivated by our FTC robot as it moved and used its claw to collect pixels. Parents also showed strong interest in FIRST® programs, and our team enthusiastically explained FLL, robotics basics, and how to help students start or join a robotics team, fostering excitement and engagement in the world of STEM.
Showing off our robot @ MakerFaire
At MakerFaire, our team engaged participants in dynamic discussions about our state-of-the-art robot, showcasing its advanced design and transformative capabilities. The audience's enthusiasm and animated debates on robotics’ potential to reshape industries reaffirmed our position as innovators in the tech sector.
