I'm 19 and the co-founder & cto of Giggles where we're recreating how the internet creates with AI. We hit #50 on the US charts while in Beta (100k Downloads).

At 15 I was addicted to Minecraft Hypixel Skyblock and became one of the top 15 richest players in a server of 18 million and made my first 5 figures. I sold in-game currency and ran javascript bots in my basement to drive traffic to my shop. That's when I fell in love with coding.

I then built a Swift app with a YOLOv5 to help visually impaired people navigate by leveraging their iPhone cameras and locally hosted models instead of buying thousand dollar machines. I won the Youth Can Innovate Award, TSF Gold Medal and the CWSF Silver Medal (25,000+ competitors) and was featured by CBC.

At 16, I raised $200K for MyBite, a social zero-commission food delivery platform that eliminates restaurant commission fees where we also built AI powered vector retrieval algorithms to help users find the best deals. We were featured in Yahoo Finance and Business Insider.
