Hello! I’m William, a high school junior 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 analysis, linear algebra, 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 all types of things, both physically and digitally, to bring ideas to life, ranging from microcontrollers to webscrapers. (See some examples below!) I'm currently learning about data structures and algorithms to help myself make larger, more impactful 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 (3BlueBrown, Vsauce, 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.
