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.
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, and co-led Lime Launcher, an all-girls robotics team project.
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.

Nectir 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.
Pre-mortem, post-mortem, IDE
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.
