Listed above is my TEDx Talk called "Discovering a passion for STEM by persevering through academic challenges | Vedh Krishnan | TEDxLFHS." This was during my first year of high school. My talk was spoken by heart and there were no teleprompters! If you're not able to see the video above, click this link to go directly to it: https://youtu.be/n114wJT8ZNk?feature=shared.

Mathematics has been my passion, leading me on a journey of personal growth and academic achievement. In a matter of a couple months, I progressed from below average grade-level math to honors high school math, showcasing my dedication and hard work.
As a mathematics tutor at the Russian School of Mathematics and Schoolhouse.world, I eagerly share my love for math with others. Through tutoring, I help students gain confidence and understanding in math just as I did.
Mathematics unlocks endless possibilities academically and in the world around us. It is a universal language that describes everything from particles to galaxies. I am thrilled to assist others in developing their fluency in this language. Whether I'm working one-on-one or helping struggling students, I'm always excited to share my passion and support their success.
Things that I have been studying/studied already in this field academically:
Linear Algebra and its Applications
Multivariable Calculus
AP Calculus BC
Pre-Calculus
Algebra 2
Trigonometry
Geometry
Algebra 1
Pre-Algebra

I also have a YouTube series called Understanding, Not Memorizing, where I attempt to create a series of videos explaining advanced mathematical concepts that students are often taught to memorize rather than understand. There are also tons of other math videos on my channel!
Created a book series called Coding Your Way Through Math. I plan to make four total volumes within the next two years. Check out the current released volumes (if you are not able to afford a copy, please email me):
Volume 1 (Amazon Affiliate Link): https://amzn.to/3GkKUDe
Volume 2 (announced/in development)
I was also the co-designer of the 25-26 LFHS Math Team Shirt.

Computers and Technology
Computers and Technology
Growing up during the rapid evolution of technology since 2008, I've always been fascinated by its endless possibilities. From smartphones to virtual reality, technology has connected people, expanded our understanding, and transformed our lives. I believe it has the power to revolutionize society and I'm excited to be part of this evolving field. Whenever anyone has technology problems big or small, I always offer my immediate assistance whenever possible. My passion for tech has only grown stronger and I eagerly await the future it brings.
Things that I have been studying/studied already in this field academically:
Data Structures and Algorithms in Java
AP Computer Science A

I enjoy sharing my passion and knowledge with others, mentoring aspiring computer builders to help them succeed. Computers has the power to shape our world, solving complex problems, and creating innovative solutions. I am excited to contribute to this evolving field and make a positive impact on our future.

Imagine having your teacher available anytime to explain, clarify, and guide you, even at 3 AM before a big exam. Build A Teacher makes that possible by turning real classroom lectures into interactive AI tutors that think, speak, and teach like your instructor. By recording and learning from your teacher’s lessons, Build A Teacher captures their voice, tone, pacing, and teaching style, showing not just what they teach but how they teach it. The result is an AI that feels real and familiar, with the warmth and flow of your classroom. You can ask questions anytime, revisit tough topics in your teacher’s own way, and study more effectively with help that fits how you learn best. Build A Teacher is not just another AI tutor. It is a bridge between real teaching and technology, making learning more personal, engaging, and accessible for every student.
Alongside BAT, I have created a specialized AI, Gigiano AI, based on my high school AP World History teacher, Mr. Gigiano, from my sophomore year. Gigiano AI is the ultimate AP World/Euro History teacher, aimed to help you better conceptualize history and the AP writing process. The AI is powered by GPT and is trained off of all the lectures given by AP World/Euro History teacher Mr. Gigiano. The AI is designed to talk and act exactly like Mr. Gigiano.
I am also the co-founder of the LFHS AI Club, a place where students can learn how to better implement AI in their lives, share their ideas relative to AI, and have thoughtful discussions relative to AI issues.
