Engineering Student, Advik Jha
From making neural networks from scratch to programming websites, I am passionate about learning concepts in engineering and technology.
About Me
I'm Advik Jha, a high school engineering student. I'm interested in computer science, artificial intelligence, and development. I enjoy making projects that help me learn more about technology.
Technical Interests
- Machine Learning: I enjoy learning about neural networks, back propagation, gradient descent, and the math for Machine Learning. I hope to eventually be able to program and train my own Large Language Model from scratch.
- Web Development: I have developed several websites in HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, including this one. I am currently taking classes at my local community college to improve my skills in web development.
- Robotics: I enjoy working with circuits and making actuators do what I design them to with my code.
- 3D Design: I have experience with Fusion360 and Inventor for 3D designing. For most of my circuit enclosures I use Fusion to design precise pieces to print.
Technical Experience
- Programming: I have been coding since I was just 7 years old. In that time, I have learned HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Luau, Python, C++, and C.
- Web Development: I programmed my first website in 2025 for a STEM based nonprofit near me. Still today, I am learning more about web development through community college.
- Hardware: At my high school, I am taking a class for electricity and circuits. Along side that, I'm doing simple projects on my own with arduinos and other microcontrollers.
- Math: at my high school, I am taking AP Calculus BC along with 0.7% of sophomores in my school. Additionally, I am teaching myself other higher level math courses using online resources like Khan Academy.
Outside Engineering
Other than engineering, I am also the CFO and web developer for EpiSTEM Learning. We are a STEM education nonprofit based in Kern County. Every week we go into elementary schools and teach hands on science labs to students. We believe it is important to do this to make sure the next generation has the same passion for STEM we have.
Learning Now:
- AP Calculus BC (MATH B6A & MATH B6B)
- Digital Electronics (ELET B1A)
- JavaScript for Web Development (COMP B43)
- Programming Concepts and Methodology (COMP B11)
- Computer Science (Harvard CS50x)
- Elementary Linear Algebra (Self Studying)
- Neural Networks and Language Models (Self Studying)
