Ajri Sylhasi

Learning, whatever, just learning: that’s what Ajri finds joy in. With a certain connection to problem-solving, Ajri knew that he would end up in tech: starting at age 13, he took his first Arduino course in his city’s makerspace. After four years of learning and working on projects, he became an Assistant Mentor in the same programming classes that he took, helping high school students get their first steps in Ruby and Web Developing. Ajri has two years of web development experience with Rails (Ruby on Rails) and also participates in the Atomi Institution (Accepted and Recognized by Mensa), a project that identifies and develops youth with extraordinary intelligence.

Music has always been Ajri’s loyal companion. A singer since age 10, he participated in his school choir and taught himself to play the guitar. Outside of technology and the music world, Ajri loves spending time on brain-building activities like chess, solving Rubik’s cubes, puzzles, and engaging in debates.
