ABOUT ME
My name is Arsh Shah, and I am an aspiring mathematician, blogger, and avid coder. During my sophomore year of high school, I shifted my focus from STEM to the humanities after witnessing the issue of homelessness in my community. Since then, I have been dedicated to combining my expertise in mathematics and computer science with new skills in civics, debate, and Model United Nations to address this pressing issue in our community.
