🌊 About Me
I'm Riley Chou (He/Him), a high school senior in the San Francisco Bay Area and an upcoming freshman at UC Santa Barbara!. I discovered hackathons in February of 2020, and I fell in love with coding ever since! I am also really passionate about the ocean and keeping our planet clean and healthy. In my free time, I love to build / learn new technologies, tinker with my PC and hardware, swim, snowboard, watch sports, and play video games.
🌱 Stuff I do!

🐬 Ocean Conservancy Club
Co-founder / Treasurer
AV Ocean Conservancy Club is a student-led organization that is dedicated towards preserving the ocean and its marine wildlife. We educate members about the problems the ocean faces, host guest speaker sessions, and hope to host beach clean-ups once Covid-19 settles down! I manage the fundraising team by distributing materials for members to make handmade crafts and I tripled the club budget with T-shirt sales.

The AVHS Ace Coding Club is dedicated to introducing the world of computer science to as many people as possible by piquing children's interest from a young age. I mentored a web development workshop during the summer and I teach weekly Java lessons to middle schoolers during the school year

I am a team captain and 4-year member for Amador Valley's swim team. I also work at the Dolores Bengtson Aquatic Center, where I maintain a clean and safe pool environment, patiently communicate with patrons about safety rules, and perform rescues and first-aid when emergencies occur.
