A bit about me.

  • I'm Adetayo Agueh (call me Ade), a senior at Rochambeau, the French International School in Bethesda, Maryland, on the French international baccalaureate track.
  • I have always been in love with engineering and computers. It started with LEGO Mindstorms and a hydraulic arm, moved to a Minecraft mod, a CAD motor and an Unreal Engine game, and then to the PC I built myself.
  • Now I lead strategy for the robotics club, which placed 2nd at MIT's Zero Robotics, founded Lookt (a food recall app), led Rochamsport (the school's sports stats site), research high-frequency trading, and build hardware with Arduino and a 3D printer.
  • I'm applying to study computer science, data science and artificial intelligence in the United States, the United Kingdom and Europe.
