|
||||
as a magical portal to infinite knowledge. I still remember the thrill when my computer science teacher
|
||||
unveiled the mystical tool that could ace our rock-paper-scissors coding exam in under a minute. Little did I
|
||||
realize that in less than three years, AI would touch everything I do —
|
||||
from school projects to software debugging, even revising this very essay. But it was in the Summer of 2023 that
|
||||
my best friend asked me a life-changing question: ``How does it work?'' I was completely clueless, and I told him
|
||||
that a stenographer was typing at the other end. As months passed and my AI usage expontially increased,
|
||||
this question haunted me. I was determined not to be a mere user, but to understand and develop the magic
|
||||
behind the curtains.
|
||||
\\\\
|
||||
That Summer was when I embarked on my first long-term goal: to fully understand the
|
||||
inner workings of the devices and programs I use. My journey in achieving this started when I joined my
|
||||
robotics team, Technical Turbulence. As the sole software member, I learned everything from scratch.
|
||||
I started by dissecting each wire, realizing that understanding hardware was crucial to mastering software.
|
||||
From PWM control to I2C communication, I slowly worked up the layers of abstraction, eventually
|
||||
coming to the software that I was responsible to write. Today, I continue my pursuit of deep technical knowledge
|
||||
through my independent research projects. In my ninth grade, I decided to grasp the fascinating concept of a
|
||||
thermoelectric generator. My research eventually culminated in a novel prototype that utilized the fascinating
|
||||
Seebeck effect to automatically stir a cooking pot. The following year, I dove into high-level signal processing
|
||||
and machine learning concepts to develop GaitGuardian, my ISEF-winning Parkinson's research project.
|
||||
Through these experiences, I have learned that true mastery comes from understanding the layers beneath the surface,
|
||||
which is why I am committed to this lifelong goal of deep technical knowledge. As I continue to uncover more
|
||||
information, I continue pursuing this goal through passion projects. My latest endeavor of hosting a full
|
||||
server on an old chromebook is pushing me to learn Linux system administration, networking, and cybersecurity. The final
|
||||
website code is the same, but the knowledge I gain from understanding the server-side is invaluable. It is with this goal
|
||||
in mind that I approach RSI, eager to learn from experts and deepen my understanding of computer science.}
