Hi, I’m Susmit.
I make things that help people be understood.
I’m a senior at Academy of the Canyons in Santa Clarita, taking classes at College of the Canyons along the way. I want to understand how minds work, which is pulling me toward neuroscience, cognitive science and computational biology.
Most of what I build comes back to one question: how do you help someone be understood? Sometimes that means decoding EEG into words. Sometimes it’s an iPad app where no word ever moves, or a list of clinics rewritten so anyone can read it. A lot of it started at home.
Away from the screen, I volunteer at Henry Mayo Newhall Hospital, help out in my school’s sports medicine program and tutor kids at Kumon. I’ve danced Bollywood since I was ten. I compete in Science Olympiad, paint with acrylics, play tennis and am slowly getting better at guitar.
This site is where I keep all of it. It isn’t finished, and it isn’t meant to be.
- Dancer.
- Painter.
- Tutor.
- Volunteer.
- Science Olympian.
How I work
Start with the person.
Every project begins with someone who needs to be understood, not with a technology.
Plain words win.
If a family can’t read it at a glance, it doesn’t work yet.
Don’t fake the data.
Real numbers or no numbers. Honest beats impressive.

Tell me what you’re working on, or what you thought of something here.
