01 About
▶ Bio

I'm Dhiaan — based in Milpitas, California. I'm headed to Milpitas High School and deeply curious about how things work: from code and circuits to CAD and community-building.

My journey started with tinkering — taking apart electronics, learning to solder, and writing my first Python scripts. That curiosity grew into building full-stack web apps with React and Next.js, designing PCBs in KiCad, modeling parts in CAD, and programming autonomous robots for Botball competitions. I've built everything from AI-powered stress detection apps (Shanti) to cinematic route optimizers (SuperRoute) to this very portfolio — a single-page site featuring Three.js 3D visualizations and serverless functions on Vercel.

I'm just as passionate about organizing as I am about building. As Head of Logistics & Operations at Cove Hacks — the world's largest in-person high school hardware hackathon — I helped scale the event to 400+ attendees, led sponsor outreach to companies like Yubico, iFixit, and Canva, and oversaw the entire operations budget. I also co-founded Telos Tutoring, a free peer-to-peer K-8 tutoring nonprofit, and organized Daydream Silicon Valley, a teen-led Game Jam with 100+ participants that raised $4,000+ in sponsorships from Vercel and Playdate. At Campfire San Jose, I single-handedly raised $5,000+ from Cadence, Framework, and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory.

Across all of this, I've raised over $10,000 in sponsorship funding, sent more than 5,000 outreach emails, and built a network of 400+ students across the Bay Area. I run a YouTube channel where I document builds and projects, and I'm always hacking on something — whether it's a PCB design, a web app, or a 3D-printed enclosure.
