Wesley Leeroy is a student at Richard Montgomery High School in the United States. He has a strong interest in artificial intelligence, computer science, and technology. Through academic competitions and practical projects, he continues to develop his technical skills and explore real-world applications of AI.
Wesley has achieved recognition in both mathematics and debate. He won 1st Place in Beestar’s GT Math Competition. In addition, he placed 5th in Capitol Debate’s Club Debate. These achievements highlight his analytical thinking and ability to communicate ideas effectively.
Beyond competitions, Wesley has actively expanded his knowledge of artificial intelligence. He completed Harvard’s CS50 Introduction to Artificial Intelligence with Python course. Through the programme, he developed proficiency in Python and key AI concepts. He also completed 12 projects to apply what he learned.
Furthermore, Wesley attended the Oxford Machine Learning Summer School. There, he focused on applications of AI in finance and accounting. He also co-presented an AI model at the American Accounting Association Annual Conference. The model he developed aims to improve IRS tax compliance systems.
Wesley has also gained practical experience through a Winter Internship at the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. During his internship, he worked on optimising AI models to analyse renewable energy thresholds. This experience allowed him to explore how artificial intelligence can support energy-related analysis.
In addition, Wesley co-founded and serves as co-president of Richard Montgomery High School’s Aviation AI Club. He leads workshops and explores how machine learning can help optimise air traffic flow. Through these activities, he encourages students to learn about the connection between aviation and emerging technologies.
Wesley’s experiences demonstrate his commitment to applying artificial intelligence to practical challenges. Moreover, his work across finance, energy, and aviation reflects his interest in exploring how technology can support different industries.
