About Me

Hello my name is Amogh Turaga. I'm a junior at high school with an interest in programming, knowing various languages like Python, Javascript, HTML and CSS. Due to my passion for programming, I plan to pursue a degree in computer science post-secondary. Alongside this, I've gained valuable work experience and skills and still gaining it as a teacher assistant at UCMAS Glen Abbey. Furthermore, to test my programming skills and to network with like-minded individuals I've participated in various hackathons, winning some of them. In addition to my existing programming skills and work experience, I've decided to build upon my entrepreneurial and business skills. To supplement this, I'm a TU20 Ventures participant. In my spare time, I play the piano. I'm quite fluent in piano, having 5+ years of experience and gaining RCM Level 3 certification with First Class Honours .
