Hello! My name is Aahan Ghode and I am a grade 12 student currently enrolled at Iroquois Ridge High School.
I have gained work experience in computer science throughout a number of hackathons, projects, and competitions. Design and development have given me the opportunity to create useful applications that can help everyone. I've extensively used HTML, CSS, JS, and Python in my personal projects and recent internships.
When I'm not programming, I take pride in practising taekwondo, making origami, playing basketball, and 3D printing.
As a Lead Assistant Teacher, I teach advanced math concepts to students in grades 10-11, providing guidance and support to help them grasp complex mathematical ideas. I also assist students with homework and lesson understanding, participate in meetings with teachers to receive and implement feedback, and collaborate with educators to develop personalized learning plans for academic success.
I utilized a combination of HTML markup for the backend and CSS for the frontend to implement custom design elements and integrate third-party applications. Additionally, I supported project managers in client communications and collaborated with the team to enhance Search Engine Optimization (SEO) flow and conversion rate optimization.
I attended SHAD in July 2024 at Lakehead University. My team and I drew on different fields of study to design solutions towards helping citizens in Canada integrate affordable and reliable energy sources into their everyday lives to create more sustainable communities. The Design Capstone Project gave me the opportunity to showcase the lessons and skills I gained over the month through enriching activities, community field trips, and lectures from industry experts.
Participated in the Leaders In Training (LIT) program in the month of July by playing a key role in helping run summer STEM camps, facilitating lab sessions, and mentoring camp students in grades 3-8.
Some of my hobbies include Taekwondo, 3D printing, origami, chess, Model UN and playing the piano. Click the dropdowns to learn more!
I started practising Taekwondo since I was 5 years old. Taekwondo taught me courtesy, integrity, perseverance, self-control and indomitable spirit. This helped push me towards achieving higher belt ranks quickly, allowing me to gain a black belt in just 5 years.
I started gaining an interest in 3D printing about a year ago. I was getting into tech design and learning how to use a 3D printer sparked some interest in me. From models to tools, I enjoy designing and making 3D prints as there is always something new to learn. I took in interest in design, mechanical engineering and incorporated it into a few projects of my own.
One of my favourite hobbies is origami. I enjoy making origami as it boosts my creativity and enhances my patience and persistence. Not only is it a prestigious art form, it also helps with motor skills and supports mental concentration. I have made a lot of origami models ranging in a variety of themes from modularity to realism.
I started playing competitive chess when I was 10. I always was intrigued by the sport because of the many combinations and strategies a player could use.. Chess taught me to be patient, strategize, and think critically.
I previously had experience in British Parliamentary Debate, so I decided that Model UN was a great next step. Model UN is an interesting form of debate as you talk about the different standpoints of countries and you have to justify your reasoning. Model UN is quite similar to real UN assemblies and I learned about the geopolitical and international relations of different countries from this experience. I am currently the secretary general at my school's Model UN club.
I have been playing the piano since the age of nine. Currently, I am in RCM Level 8. Piano is a great instrument as it improves hand-eye coordination as well as dexterity. Playing the piano has helped improve my echoic memory, build good habits such as focus and perseverance, diligence, and creativity.
A sterilizer for masks of all kinds to lengthen usage. Uses UVC lights and an Arduino.
A sensor that can be placed on any part of a car to ensure driver safety, from protecting blind spots to parallel parking.
Developed a website for my school's parent program so that they can see upcoming meetings and view the school board's calendar to keep in touch with the events planned.
A parser that can extract important information from hundreds of resumes at a time in multiple file formats.
Created using React.JS, REST API, and Vercel. Allows for clients to upload and manually add transaction data.
SkillSage provides flashcards, quizzes and comprehensive study guides by only asking for one file, be it a slideshow, a PDF of course content or a picture of the blackboard in a jpg format.
I upgraded my standard Ender 3 V2 printer with a Micro Swiss NG Direct Drive Extruder along with dual linear rods, new bed, and changed software to Klipper to decrease print time.
This was my first large-scale project that contained multiple parts. I learned how to scan models online in order to create files that could then be scaled down to print and glue together to form the final skeleton.
This was the largest print I have ever made, weighing over 3 kilograms and using close to 4 spools of filament.
