About

I grew up in Colorado Springs and graduated from Cheyenne Mountain High School in May 2025, ranking 6th out of 286 students and earning Summa Cum Laude.

I'm now an undergraduate at Washington University in St. Louis, pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science and Business through the McKelvey School of Engineering. My coursework spans data structures and algorithms, object-oriented programming, matrix algebra, calculus, economics, and entrepreneurship.

In 2026 I formed Newkirk Technologies LLC, a single-member software studio I run on my own. I build custom websites, iOS apps, and MVP prototypes for clients — and release my own products under it, starting with Polyscope on the App Store. Being the only person on the team means I handle everything: design, backend, deployment, App Store review, and the business side too.

I run year-round for the WashU Bears in cross country and indoor/outdoor track at the NCAA Division III level. I was also a four-year varsity runner at Cheyenne Mountain and earned Nike Indoor All-American honors during my senior winter.

Outside of academics and running, I volunteer with the Bear Cubs Running Club in St. Louis — working with kids with special needs to develop motor and social skills through running — and at Springs Rescue Mission in Colorado Springs.
