Things I'm most proud of

• Scaling and selling Catchr after 175k+ downloads and users in ~170 countries in ~4.5 months
• Qualifying for olympic trials as a high schooler
• Graduating from Georgia Tech with highest honors with my twin brother

Things I believe

• I believe that it is better to be temporarily misunderstood than to conform to expectations
• I believe there is something to learn from every person you meet
• I believe in keeping your failures public, and that failure is the best teacher
