Hi! My name is Avyay and I'm a junior at Mission San Jose High School. I mainly enjoy programming in Python and Java. In addition to iOS app development, I enjoy data science and machine learning, especially with its application in sports and genomics.

Scholarships

Avyay has been awarded a WWDC scholarship in 2020. Here is the submission that got him there.

In 2020, applicants were tasked with building an interactive playground to showcase their creativity and technical abilities. Here’s how Avyay describes his winning submission.

I created a playground (Football Pong) that combined the game of American Football with the classic game of Pong. You would flick a ball toward two paddles, which would move in a random way. Those paddles would redirect the football into the goal. I used SpriteKit for the 2d physics effects.
