I’m a high school student who builds systems with code.
I’m currently working on Rey — an experimental programming language designed to be dynamic by default, with optional static guarantees where they actually matter. It’s a long-term project focused on language design, interpreters, and how flexibility and correctness can coexist.
I’m also the creator of firstDraft — a platform built around the idea of drafting seasons, where people spend focused time building anything meaningful to them, then share the work publicly. It’s less about polish, more about momentum.
My interests revolve around AI, machine learning, programming languages, and system design — especially tools that prioritise real-world usefulness over abstractions for their own sake.
Outside of code, I participate in MUNs, teach through my tech society, and occasionally help rescue stray animals.
