I'm Netra, an incoming high schooler with interest in Science, Math, Arts, and Sports, especially Tennis.

About me!

I am an eigth grader highly motivated and interested in the environment and how technology can help improve it. I've participated and won several science fairs to further this work, having made projects to help recycling, animals, and ocean pollution. I also love to play tennis and have been playing for 3 years. I have worked with several programming languages and libraries, like PyTorch, Python, Pandas, and more.
