Kerellos Abdelmalak - High School Senior and NASA ADC Finalist

About Me

I'm Kerellos Abdelmalak, a passionate high school senior with a deep love for electrical engineering, coding, and technology. As a first-generation Egyptian immigrant, I bring a unique perspective to everything I do, combining my heritage with my drive for innovation. My work has been featured in the Daily Herald and Northwest Herald for my participation in NASA's App Developer Challenge.

When I'm not coding or building projects, you can find me on the tennis court or playing varsity soccer. These sports have taught me discipline, teamwork, and the importance of continuous improvement—skills that translate directly into my technical work.
