About Me
Hey there, I’m Alex. Thanks for stopping by! I’m super energetic and passionate for technology innovation and entrepreneurship. Like an explorer, I’m always venturing into the realms of technology to uncover solutions that make a positive impact on people’s lives. I firmly believe that technology should serve humanity, and having an entrepreneurial spirit will help foster innovation and create opportunities for positive changes. When not immersed in lines of code or tinkering with robots, I’m out there exploring the world, eager to connect with diverse cultures and understand the challenges faced by different communities. Traveling, whether locally or afar, fuels my empathy and inspires me to innovate on addressing real-world problems. Let’s embark on an exhilarating journey together!
Innovation
An Enthustiastic Programmer
As an enthusiastic programmer, coding has become an integral part of my life since junior middle school. The serene and focused feeling while coding brings me continuous mental flow, making it an incredibly fulfilling pursuit.
Competitions
I have actively participated in coding competitions such as USACO, ACSL, and BPA Python Programming, achieving commendable results along the way. Currently, I am now USACO platinum qualified and have secured a spot in the global top 10 for BPA Python Programming. Coding has served as a magical tool that transforms my wild ideas into reality, and I am determined to continue harnessing its power in my future studies and career.
Environmental Protection Innovation with Game Design
I am also deeply involved in environmental protection innovation within my school’s green campus initiative, and designed a game program with my team.
In this project, I have collaborated with like-minded individuals to design a game that educates and engages young people in understanding the importance of a green campus. Through innovative approaches, we inspire actionable steps that contribute to the creation of sustainable environments.
28th UN Climate Change Conference
As a youth ambassador, I Attended the 28th UN Climate Change Conference in Dubai to encourage teenagers worldwide to engage in low-carbon actions through technology and to design innovative educational methods.

Moreover, I have immersed myself in research programs. I undertook an intriguing study focusing on the navigation capabilities of robots in unknown environments. By conducting experiments and utilizing visual sensors, I collected and efficiently analyzed vital data to explore the potential for self-navigation.
The study contributes in improving the safety of people working in dangerous environments and providing valuable insights for future research on robotic intelligence.
Introduce AI into Geology
Ore and mineral identification is a great obstacle for today’s geological informatization popularization work, while intelligent identification of ores and minerals is strong force to advance the popularization of geological science.
Recognizing the significance of ore and mineral identification in geological informatization, I integrated cloud servers, recognition models, and deep learning to introduce AI into geology. This fosters broader dissemination of geological knowledge and streamlines identification processes.
Robotics
From a young age, I have been captivated by the world of robotics and engineering. My fascination with this field led me to embark on an exciting journey that continues to shape my passions and aspirations.
Throughout my years in junior middle school, I eagerly delved into the realm of robotic competitions, discovering the joy of bringing machines to life and pushing the boundaries of innovation.
Among the various robotic programs I have explored, FTC (FIRST Tech Challenge) and VEX have captured my attention the most.
These platforms have served as the canvas for me to pour my energy and dedication into, resulting in remarkable achievements.
Collaborating closely with my talented team, we have garnered a series of prestigious robotic awards. These victories not only validate our hard work but also fuel our hunger to constantly strive for excellence.
Competitions and Friendships
Engaging in these competitions has provided me with invaluable opportunities to expand my knowledge in engineering technology and programming.
Through countless hours of hands-on experience, I have honed my skills in designing, building, and coding robots that possess both functionality and elegance.
The intricate interplay between mechanics and programming has become second nature to me, empowering me to tackle complex challenges head-on.
Robotics is not merely a hobby or a pastime
Robotics is not merely a hobby or a pastime for me—it is a genuine passion that drives my ambitions. As I continue to explore the frontiers of this dynamic field, I remain committed to pushing the boundaries of innovation and contributing to the advancement of robotics technology.
Leadership and Teamwork
As president of school’s Robotics Club, I am dedicated to promoting robotics competitions and inspiring more of my peers to fall in love with this exhilarating activity. Creating a thriving community where we can collectively nurture our fascination for robotics is one of my top priorities.
Robotics is not just about building machines; it’s about cultivating creativity, problem-solving, and teamwork. I aim to ignite the same spark of excitement in others that has fueled my own passion.
Entrepreneurship
- Embarking on the path of entrepreneurship has allowed me to explore the dynamic world of business and hone my skills as a future leader.
- I have actively participated in various competitions, gaining invaluable experience and achieving remarkable success.
- I have also delved into the intricate realm of stock trading and digital currency exchange, accumulating several years of hands-on experience in these financial domains. These experience has provided me with insights into macroeconomic trends, industry competition, enterprise valuation, and risk management, which helps me grasp essential knowledge to navigate in this evolving landscape.
The remarkable competition that broadened my entrepreneurial horizons was the Student Investment Challenge (SIC). Endorsed by the CEE Council for Economic Education and supported by the ACME American China Modern Economics Society, SIC provided a platform for contestants to simulate stock trading through online platforms. As the Team Captain for the 2022-2023 SIC, I led my team to exceptional achievements. And we have received following awards:
Team (international):
- Best Strategy Report Team Gold Award
- Overall Team Silver Award
- Best Strategy Showcase Team Silver Award
Individual (international):
- Top Scoring Challenger in U-FEB QUIZ Sliver Award
These experiences have fueled my entrepreneurial spirit and instilled in me a deep passion for business innovation. As I continue my journey in the world of entrepreneurship, I am committed to seizing opportunities, embracing challenges, and making a positive impact on the global business landscape.
I participated as the team leader in the 11th Global Youth Economic Forum (WYEF) in 2022.
Known as the “Davos World Economic Forum for Youth Students,” the WYEF brought together exceptional young minds from various countries.
With the theme of “Common Prosperity – Let fairness become a new driving force for the future of the global economy,” our team’s dedication and collaborative efforts led us to secure the National Silver Award and the Partnership Excellence Award.
Insights
As an innovator, I am also acutely aware of the ethical implications that come with technological progress. It is crucial to navigate the fine line between progress and responsibility, ensuring that the technologies I create benefit society as a whole.
