Hey everyone!
Who I Am
I am a 17-year-old student at Richmond Hill High School. I'm super passionate about the latest technology, parkour, stock investing, computer building, and autism advocacy. Oh, yeah, and that's me waving to you mid-backflip.
What I've done
Started and Led The Parkour Club at School
Initiated an Autism Awareness School Assembly
Started and Led The Parkour Club at School
I founded the Parkour Club at my school in September 2019. It was quite a journey as I spent more than half a year preparing for this club, such as writing a 30-page club proposal, recruiting executives, creating marketing materials, printing club T-shirts, and lastly and the most difficult task was finding a teacher supervisor. I position this club as a non-competitive sports club open to everyone.
Built and Modified Desktop Computers

Started and Led The Parkour Club at School
Over the course of 3 years, I've built multiple desktop computers for myself and others. My first computer used an Intel Core i5-6600 and a GTX 1050 Ti (That was before I was an informed computer builder). I built my second rig (which I still use to this day) with a Ryzen 7 1700 and GTX 1080 Ti. I also configured my grandpa's Intel Hades Canyon NUC (which is small enough for traveling at only 1.3L) and installed the RAM and SSD.

Installed a Buddy Bench at My Elementary School
I have always felt the need to advocate for people with Autism. Inspired by a social justice assignment in Grade 7, I decided to start an Autism Awareness Assembly at my school. I was able to convince my principal to hold this assembly in the Autism Awareness month where I made a speech to talk about my experiences with autism.

To follow up with the Autism Awareness Assembly, I requested funding from the school's parent council to erect a buddy bench in our schoolyard. The goal of the bench is for students to go there if they’d like someone to play with during recess.
Built my First Grappling Hook

Built my First Grappling Hook
Using the cheapest mechanical winch I could find on Amazon and a massive 36-pound 12 volt battery I got at Costco, I built my first proof-of-concept grappling hook winch that could lift me a few feet off the ground.
