Bio

William enjoys problem solving and figuring out the why behind things, an interest that has made him passionate about computer science, physics and math. William has extensive experience participating in competitions in those fields and hopes to use his programming skills to computationally solve real-world problems. At school, William is involved in Science Bowl, Science Olympiad, speech, tennis team and orchestra and is the founder of the Competitive Programming Club. In William's free time, his favorite decompressing activity is making goofy projects, such as piezoelectric pencil boxes that harmlessly zap classmates trying to open them.
