Hey friend. My name is Aakash!

Other Activities
A summer project where I configured the lights in my room to work with Alexa. I didn't want to use an 'out of the box' solution so I bought my own components, tore down the walls in my room, reconfigured the wiring, and cleaned everything up. A great project for learning about home improvement and IOT.
Home Control
A few parts, 6 weeks, and an awesome team. First Robotics is a competition that truly shaped my life and inspired to be an engineer. I started as an assistant and worked up to becoming the lead of the programming team. It was a wonderful oppurtunity to hone my skills, mentor my peers, and work with a team!
The first of my many hackathons. I learned Kotlin, and Android studio in 24 hours to build a simple app that shows you were a book in a library is located when you scan it. It was truly a great experience, we even won a sub category!
A startup inspired from a hackathon project. Our team built a collaborative, social drawing app and released it to about 25 alpha testers. This was my first real taste of entrepreneurship and it has inspired me to further continue on this path.
