Robotics, service, speech and building things
Hi, I'm Khushi.
I am a Prospect High School student, FRC 2813 business lead, varsity Speech and Debate member, community volunteer, traveler, LEGO builder, swimmer, board-game person, and black belt in Tae Kwon Do.
About
Curious by default, organized by necessity.
Communication
Through Speech and Debate, I practice the kind of work I love: research, confidence, advocacy, and clear communication.
Service and community
Through my temple's PVSA program, I completed 181 service hours last year and am working toward 250 hours this year. I have volunteered with Second Harvest, Habitat for Humanity, RAFT, and JCNC, the Jain Center of Northern California.
Leadership
What I am building and contributing to.
FRC 2813 Prospect Robotics
Business lead this season and former SWE-NEXT lead, focused on outreach, sponsorship, and making robotics feel welcoming, visible, and possible.
YJA and YJP
Media member for YJP and local representative for YJA, helping connect students, events, community stories, service projects, and local meetups.
Service recognition
Recognized with National Service Honor, a City of Milpitas commendation, and an April 2026 California State Assembly certificate from Alex Lee for outstanding volunteering. I have also participated in CSF and CJSF.
Speech and Debate
Research, advocacy, and speaking with confidence.
Competitive communication
Speech and Debate is one of my school activities at Prospect, and it helps me practice research, argument-building, confidence, and clear communication.
I am a varsity member and love how debate combines preparation, quick thinking, and the courage to speak up.
Robotics in action
Teaching, building, and opening doors in STEM.
Outreach and engineering leadership
I have taught two years of FLL camp for elementary and middle school students, co-led a Girls in STEM Day, co-led Lime Launcher, an all-girls robotics team project, and serve as a FIRST Like a Girl ambassador through my team.
Through SWE-NEXT and Prospect Robotics, I love helping younger students see engineering as something creative, collaborative, and genuinely possible.
Community and service
Showing up through service, Jain community, and youth leadership.
YJA, YJP, JCNC, and service
As a YJA local representative and YJP media member, I help build community through events, service, and storytelling. I have co-led a YJA cafe meetup and participated in service work through YJA and JCNC.
My volunteering has included Second Harvest, Habitat for Humanity, RAFT, and the Jain Center of Northern California.

Coding projects
Things I am building online.
Online Photobooth
A playful online photobooth project where visitors can take photos in the browser and try out a fun interactive web experience.
Open projectMAC AMC Practice
A math practice website that helps students prepare for AMC 10 and AMC 12 problems with an accessible online study tool.
Open projectFlashcards
A free flashcard and study platform with AI notes-to-flashcards, study modes, games, progress tracking, a library/share flow, local guest storage, and import/export tools.
Open FlashcardsNectir internship
My internship notes are still here.
The site started as a simple Nectir internship portal. Now it has a dedicated space for what I am learning, including project strategy, tech careers, GitHub portfolio basics, and new words.
Kickoff meeting
Learned pre-mortem vs. post-mortem thinking, internship scheduling, startup vs. big-tech roles, GitHub portfolio basics, and how an IDE helps turn ideas into code.
Joining meetings and planning the AI chatbox
Talked through how I can join company meetings, including joining one that week, and mapped out what I would need to build an AI chatbox: a visible interface, a frontend, a backend, and an API connection.
Testing Nectir and joining all-hands
Got to see more of Nectir, received access to the platform, joined an all-hands meeting, and planned to test Nectir, give feedback, and make another webpage as the next step in the internship project.
Photobooth app review and product feedback
Went over my online photobooth app, received feedback, and reviewed the code. I also started sharing my feedback on Nectir, then decided I would join a call with Anna from Product so I could give the feedback once in the right conversation.
Pre-mortem, post-mortem, IDE, GUI, API, frontend, backend
A pre-mortem prevents issues before a project starts. A post-mortem learns after something goes wrong. An IDE is where code gets written and tested. A GUI is the visual part people click and use. An API lets different software talk to each other. The frontend is what users see, while the backend handles the behind-the-scenes logic.
