Hello! I’m William, a high school senior who loves to learn about our world.

I'm extremely interested in all types of mathematics. Beyond the typical high-school curriculum, I enjoy studying all sorts of advanced math, such as combinatorics, number theory, and probability. I have also qualified for the AIME three times and won awards competing in various math competitions (such as the AMC series, the Stanford Math Tournament, and UIL.)

I like to create things that bring ideas to life, from circuits to webscrapers and lots of things in between. (See some examples below!) I'm currently learning about data structures and algorithms to help myself create a larger variety of projects. I also compete in the silver division of the USACO programming contests.

I believe that knowledge is best used when shared, so I enjoy helping others learn. I have tutored peers in all sorts of STEM fields, and in my positions as an officer of the math honor society and as a leader of a citywide math circle, I work to promote and foster an appreciation of math, as well as of learning in general.

Outside of my adventures in STEM, you’ll probably find me practicing my violin, exercising, reading, watching YouTube (3Blue1Brown, Wendover, and Jet Lag are my favorite channels), or spending time in nature. In the future, I hope to study something STEM-related in college, and eventually become a scientist or engineer to create the ideas that make our world a better place.
