Akash Aradhya

Role: Software, Outreach

As an 8th grader moving from FLL to the First Tech Challenge, I’ve spent this season bridging the gap between block coding and advanced Java. I prioritize authentic problem-solving and manual debugging over AI reliance, a skill set sharpened by collaborating with my team's senior developers. I believe the best code comes from a deep understanding of the mechanics it controls. Other than FTC, I enjoy volleyball, chess, and math.
