Bio

Euan Ong is a 16 year old student at Magdalen College School in Oxford, UK, and a self-confessed technology advocate and futurist. First learning to code at the age of 10, he has developed a number of full-stack JavaScript/PHP webapps and Android apps, and dabbled in C++, Python and node.js. More recently, he has participated in various national computer science and cybersecurity competitions, including Google Code In, for which he was a grand prize winner in 2017. Thanks in part to the latter, he also contributes as a volunteer to the open-source organisation Sugar Labs, which develops constructivist learning software for children. In addition, he is involved in his school's maths, programming, engineering and linguistics societies, regularly competing in national maths olympiads. In 2018, he was invited to a maths olympiad training camp in Oxford University. In his (almost non-existent) free time, he enjoys singing, playing the piano, experimenting with algorithms and machine learning, solving maths and informatics problems and writing and translating poetry, for which he won the Stephen Spender prize in 2015.
