During my Freshman year of high
school, my interest in investing started
to increase more and more. During the summer
of 2020, I fell into a rabbit hole,
researching the fundamentals of investing.
Up until today, my knowledge expands from stocks,
bonds, economics, technical anaylsis,
and even the derivatives market. So much so
that I founded Tigers in the Money, a club
educating high schoolers about the
fundamentals and technicals of the stock
market. I became passionate about economics
and am open to applying my Cybersecurity
degree from Stevens Institute of Technology
in the finance sector.
It was my environmental science teacher,
Ms. Darakjy, who introduced me to Elon
Musk. Showing the Falcon 9 rocket self-land,
the entire class seemed disinterested. However,
I felt inspired to know more about rockets
and their reusable attributes. I then
discovered Tesla, which opened up another
rabbit hole. I became obsessed with
environmental science and started to learn
the ins and outs of Tesla Inc. I now have a
deep understanding of the company's
fundamentals, and even their engineering.
During the summer of 2022, I
clicked on a video on my recommendations page
on YouTube. Little did I know, the video
from freecodecamp.org about Solidity would
open up a door to a trending sector in
finance: blockchain. Conceptually, blockchain
seems very applicable to the real world;
so I began. I developed a simple
withdraw/deposit system in Solidity and
tested my code in the Ethereum Virtual Machine
(EVM) via Remix IDE. Whether it be working at a tech
company, or finding one of my own, I will
love nothing more than to contribute to the
mass utilization of blockchain.
