About Dhruv Bantval

High school student with 4+ years programming experience and 2 science fair first-place awards. Built smart cane for visually impaired users, led backend development for ConnectCCA platform, and conducted glioblastoma genomics research at UCSD.

My Journey

My journey began with a simple question: How can technology make a real difference in people's lives? From designing smart canes for the visually impaired to developing machine learning models for medical research, I'm driven by the potential to create meaningful impact through engineering innovation.

As a 10th grader at Canyon Crest Academy, I've earned recognition at multiple science fairs, conducted research at prestigious institutions like UCSD and iResearch Institute, and developed solutions spanning assistive technology, genomics research, and competitive robotics systems.

Outside academics, I mentor STEM students, compete in fencing at national Junior Olympics level, and founded my high school's business club for student entrepreneurs.

My Philosophy

Development

Everything goes wrong. You just need to code till its right

Computer Science

If you don't like cs, don't go into it.

"Vibe" Coding

Making AI do everything for you isn't coding, its delusional.
