My name is Akhil Deo. I am a student in 11th grade and I have just started my 9th year at NBPS. I am an IB diploma candidate. I want to be a software engineer. The reason I am taking IB Design Tech is because the class allows me to express my passions while also teaching me how to use my skills in a real-world business driven setting. Outside of class, I'm the captain of First Tech Challenge team 9986, vice president of the NBPS coding club and the secretary of the engineering club at my school. I enjoy helping my community through various organizations and strive to make the world a better place.
