Awards & Achievements
Congressional App Challenge
2024
This was a particularly meaningful award for me as it allowed me to combine two of my strengths (web development and AI/ML) into a cohesive project that has a real-world impact. As a winner, I am invited to the House of Code event at the US Capitol in April 2025, and my app will be eligible to be featured on the House.gov website. You can learn more about the project here.
