about!
hi there. i’m aaradhya, usually just adi online and offline. i’m a phoenix-based teenager who likes building useful things, learning in public, and making room for other people to build too.
a lot of my time goes into community work. i founded the code hatch to run workshops and hackathons for teenagers, and i also volunteer with hack club to help create more local spaces where students can make things together.
away from the screen, i’m usually playing violin, thinking through a chess position, preparing for debate, or helping seniors feel more comfortable with technology through cyber-seniors.
