I’m an iOS Developer, a stem cell researcher, and I study ancient Hebraic texts.

I integrate my passions and hope to save the world, one experiment at a time.

iOS Development

My foray into the world of science began when I received a computer game for my 4th birthday. I opened my first email account at the age of 5, began programming at 8, and ranked in the top 12 juniors nationwide in the USA Computing Olympiad.

My projects

Ancient Texts

My innovations help us progress into the future, but my mindset is influenced by the past. I study ancient Hebraic texts, won international competitions, and gave a TED Talk. I founded a non-profit organization to empower homeless and abused children through debate.
