I started building with Lego at 6 and ended up building a 12-legged robot — less about choosing projects and more about gradually pushing what I could make. Now in Year 2 of the IB Diploma at GIIS Singapore, 40/42 in Year 1, applying to EECS and Computer Engineering programs across the US, UK, Singapore, and Europe.
