Hi! I’m Ashvik, a high school senior from California with over five years of experience in coding, AI, and machine learning. I’ve completed AP Computer Science, earned NVIDIA’s Professional AI Certifications, and studied AI through programs at Harvard, Cambridge, and others. I’m currently building an AI-powered mental health companion to support underserved teens, using computer vision, deep learning, and voice analysis launching this summer! I have also been conducting research with professors on projects combining AI, healthcare, and quantum computing. Here on Schoolhouse, I tutor SAT Math (scored 780/800), lead enrichment sessions on mental health, and moderate a Dialogue Club that brings together global perspectives. I recently also started tutoring a new AI Fundamentals series, where you’ll explore core AI concepts and learn about building projects that can truly make a difference. Looking forward to learning with you!
