I’m a high school student in the Philadelphia area. I’ve shipped three products: Corvo, Lark, and FBLA One. I’ve also managed my own investment portfolio since 2021.
I’m a student at Council Rock High School South. I build software, usually because I wanted something to exist and it didn’t yet.
Outside of that I lead a few clubs, volunteer around my community, and read a lot. Drag the constellation to explore what I’m into.

Portfolio intelligence platform
Institutional-grade portfolio analytics, free. Corvo models how a portfolio behaves under uncertainty: drawdown, volatility, correlation, and value-at-risk, instead of trying to predict it. I rebuilt the whole platform from user feedback.
Built with
AI guitar coach
An AI tutor for guitar. Lark pairs a library of real songs with a structured curriculum, a real-time practice mode, an AI coach you can chat with, and on-demand tab generation, so a beginner always knows what to play next.
Built with
All-in-one platform for FBLA chapters
A complete operating system for FBLA chapters: member management, events, and competitive-event prep in one place. Built for my own chapter and now used in production.
Built with
From scratch
Classic computer science, rebuilt from the ground up and running live in your browser, no libraries doing the hard part. Each one is interactive, so dig in and play.
Graphs · BFS / DFS / Dijkstra / A*
Four pathfinding algorithms, all written from scratch. Pick one and press Run to watch it search for the shortest route between the two dots. Drag across the grid to draw walls, drag the dots to move the start and goal, or press Maze for a random layout.
A* Search: Dijkstra plus a heuristic that aims toward the goal. Shortest path, but explores far fewer cells.
Graphics · reflections + shadows
A 3D renderer built from nothing: every pixel shoots a ray that bounces off the spheres and the floor, with real reflections, shadows, and highlights. Drag the scene to orbit around it.
Machine learning · hand-written backprop
A neural network with no libraries, the learning math written by hand. It teaches itself to tell the teal dots from the pink ones, and the glowing line is the boundary it has found. Pick a built-in pattern, or draw your own dots, and watch it relearn live.

Vinay demonstrated a strong combination of curiosity, technical ability, and initiative. He was quick to grasp complex concepts, translate them into practical solutions, and continuously iterate to improve model performance. I'm confident he will continue to do excellent work at the intersection of finance and AI.
Vinay has dedicated his free time to our community by writing monthly book reviews for our young adult patrons. He has shown consistency and dependability, and challenged himself by reviewing different genres to reach a broader audience. I would strongly recommend Vinay Batra without hesitation.
