Hello! I’m currently a junior in high school pursuing the IBDP program in Costa Rica. I have a deep passion for healthcare, biology, computer science, and technology. As a self-taught dev, I recently applied to WWDC to challenge myself and further develop my skills. Outside of academics, I enjoy sailing, working out, and practicing Krav Maga.

Molecular Vision (MV) was designed with the primary goal of providing biology students with an immersive learning experience. The app facilitates a deeper understanding of proteins, their structures, and their crucial roles within biological processes. To bring this vision to life, MV includes a comprehensive library where users can access detailed information about each protein, explore its functions, and even visualize it in augmented reality (AR).
