About Me
Hello, I'm Ayansh Paliwal
I am a high schooler focused on the intersection of robotics and machine learning, with a goal of contributing to open-source systems. My objective is to push the boundaries of intelligent systems and build solutions that have a lasting impact.
My journey includes mastering all 10 levels of abacus by age 11, diving into programming in multiple languages since age 10, and leading teams in competitive robotics. Beyond academics, I hold a Red belt in Karate and enjoy pushing my limits in sports.
I believe in the power of continuous learning and enjoy sharing my knowledge with others. My goal is to use technology to create meaningful solutions that can make a positive impact on the world, especially in areas like education and sustainability.

My Hobbies & Interests
Robotics & Arduino
I started tinkering with robots early on — from basic VEX bots to advanced custom designs. Representing Robot Revolution at the state level was a proud moment for me. I taught myself Arduino through YouTube, building cool, functional projects that solved real problems.
Programming
I started coding at age 10, diving into Python, and JavaScript. Since then, I have expanded my knowlange to learning kotlin and dart for app development, C++ for game development. I also taught myself the Arduino Programming Language. I love how coding turns ideas into real tools and games, and it’s my favorite way to solve problems creatively.
Martial Arts
I trained in Karate at Moo Duk Kwan and earned my red belt after more than 2 years of consistent effort. I’ve competed and won at multiple regional tournaments — it’s taught me resilience, focus, and confidence.
Sports & Athletics
Sports have always been a big part of my life. From roller skating and competitive swimming to soccer, I’ve trained and competed since I was 7. I’ve earned medals at zonal and state levels, and I enjoy pushing my physical limits.
Mental Mathematics
I completed all 10 levels of abacus training, and it unlocked crazy-fast mental math skills. I love working with numbers and solving puzzles using patterns — it's like mental gymnastics for me.
