My name is Theo Mazziotta & I'm a 17 year old French American living in Northern California.
My journey into the world of engineering and computer science began as a young kid staring out of a car window. I remember vividly being 5 years old with my mom driving around Los Angeles, struck by the sight of endless traffic and a hazy yellow polluted sky. It was in that very moment that I daydreamed about flying cars powered by the clean energy of the sun. That moment lit a spark that's stayed with me ever since.
As a kid, I'd fill sketchbooks with designs, concepts, and countless ideas of a future where our skies were open to eco-friendly flying cars. I knew dreaming was only the first step. I needed to learn the skills and know-how so I started my deep dive into engineering and computer science in 3rd grade.
Curious about where I honed my skills since then? Check out my LinkedIn profile for classes, projects, and even artificial intelligence certifications.
As you browse through my portfolio, I hope my story inspires you, just as that LA traffic jam inspired me all those years ago. Let's dream big and innovate bigger together! Cheers to a future full of possibilities.
Artificial Intelligence
AI and Machine Learning certifications and projects to master skills such as ML, deep learning, NLP, generative AI, prompt engineering, ChatGPT, and more.
Coding & Web
Multiple projects in Python, Java, HTML to solve daily life problems and help with social causes.
Engineering
In junior year, I attended an engineering class in the metal and wood workshop where I built many projects. I have attended engineering and robotics classes whenever possible since elementary school.
AI & ML Research Internship
Data center energy use has risen 10-60% since 2015 according to the International Energy Agency. To help IT teams reduce their carbon footprint, I trained an AI model to improve the energy efficiency of a developer's code.
Moon Walker Game
Moon Walker is a game I created from scratch as part of a Game Jam competition with gravity as the theme for all participants
Electric Car
Year-long project in engineering class to build an electric model car. My team earned a top 5 finish when I tested it in the school parking lot.
Bridge Competition
My team won the competition ending the Johns Hopkins Explore Engineering Summer Program. We designed and built the strongest Spaghetti bridge by applying the laws of physics we studied during the program
GOAT Library Website
Web project to encourage ESL students to read more and access library resources.
Hydraulic Arm
We received first place in a competition where we used the flow of air, to make an arm move up and down, side to side, and be able to pick up a ball so that way it could drop into a desired location
