About Me
Hello, I'm Utsav Das
Full-stack developer, game creator, and aspiring engineer with a passion for modern web applications, AI-powered solutions, and immersive games. Currently a high school student at Chantilly High School (Class of 2027) with a strong foundation in computer science and software engineering.
My journey started in 2019 with Lua and Roblox, progressed through FTC robotics with Java, and expanded into full-stack development with React, Next.js, and Python. I'm currently CTO of RoboSpire, recently completed a Software Engineering Internship at Kashmir World Foundation, and conducted hardware research at Virginia Tech's UPWARDS Program. When I'm not coding, I'm at the gym, on the lacrosse field, drawing, playing trumpet, or grinding Valorant and Elden Ring.
