Hi, I'm Arav (he/him)

"I'm young, scrappy, and hungry; I'm not throwing away my shot!" ~ Hamilton

Want to know what I'm doing right now? Check out my /now page

I'm a senior from Mississauga (near Toronto) who loves public transit, urban planning, books (a little bit of everything), reading magazines and newspapers, programming (sometimes), running/building online communites, and running

hackathons

[(I've organized 3 hackathons in Toronto, and helped with 2 other hackathons in Vermont & New Delhi!)] I also enjoy doing sound for school events whenever I get the chance ^.^

Most people think I'm an introvert, but I'm an extrovert forced to be an introvert. My friends say I'm good at small talk, which I find ooldy fitting. In my free time, I like spending time with my friends, working on projects, watching netflix, listening to music, and playing with my siblings

Currently, I'm trying to start a blog on Mississauga City Hall & Ontario Politics this is a test, at Mississauga Report, and trying to figure out how to get more involved in politics.

I also work at Hack Club where I lead community operations overseeing & helping with virtual events, fraud, newsletters and a little bit of everything else! I also co-lead the moderation dept for a community of 40,000+ teenagers 🙈

This May, I helped organize Apocalypse. Apocalypse was a labour of love, a hackathon me and a few friends came up with in Septmember 2023, and it ended up becoming Canada's largest High School hackathon EVER

The best place to contact me would be on Slack (@radioblahaj) or email me at my name @ this domain

See you around, Arav
