Programmer
About
I'm a sophomore at Cleburne High School, and I have 6 years of programming experience. I am proficient in three programming languages: Java, Python, and Lua. Computers have always been my passion, and I have built a home server with my own email server and storage system. I enjoy creating programming projects and currently rank among the top two students in my class. My PSAT score is 1515, and my unweighted GPA is 3.95. I made a 5 on my AP Human Geography Exam and a 5 on my AP Computer Science Principles exam. I am also passionate about educating others on privacy and internet safety. I have previously taught AP Computer Science Principles to a club of 8-10 students after school, and the average grade of the class was 85 or higher. Apart from this, I am on the varsity tennis team and ranked 2nd. I am a member of various clubs such as TSA, FBLA, SkillsUSA, TAFE, PAC and SkillsJAM. I am also involved in powerlifting and hold the position of SkillsUSA District 4 Historian for 2024-2025. I'm a JAM Bassador Pro for SkillsJam. I am proud to be the state champion in Programming for both SkillsUSA and FBLA. Additionally, I am certified with a CompTIA A+ information technology degree and 10-hour OSHA. I'm a very social person, and I love meeting new people. I was diagnosed with anxiety and ADHD, but I have been able to fight these mental illnesses to make friends and achieve great things. I'm a very religious person and have a strong Catholic faith.

Projects
- Project Lucas: I created an AI model that shared my interests and had knowledge of my life, teachers, school, classes, and friends. This helped me create an artificial intelligent version of myself.
- Making a Minecraft Server for my School: I managed to port Minecraft to the Chromebooks used at my school and set up a Minecraft server that accommodated up to 183 people at a time. It lasted until December 2023.
- Clemo: I developed an Omegle clone coded to enable people at my school to chat with random people and make friends.
- The Home Server: I built a home server from computer parts and coded a docker system that allowed me to manage the server in sections and create many services that I use. These services included the Email server, Storage server, Remote connection website, Online code editor, and connection speed test website. Recently, I used the home server to make a database for my FBLA competition, in which I got first place in North Texas and in the State.
- Stavoider: A fun and challenging asteroid avoidance game that includes a typing mini-game, originally created for my AP Computer Science Portfolio.
- CTE Nexus: CTE Nexus is an app developed to enhance the functionality and user experience in managing partnerships within Career and Technical Education programs at Cleburne High School. It includes features like a secure login system, AI-powered search, data security with SSL encryption, a vote-up system for companies, efficient navigation, interactive help pages, admin pages for user management, and a report system for creating customizable reports.
