RYAN GINSBURG
High-energy high school senior passionate about code, AI, and research. I build full-stack apps, develop machine-learning models, and create tools used by students, seniors, and community groups.
From AI research at NYU and Binghamton to financial-literacy apps and ML-driven stock-market engines, I focus on one goal: turning technical ideas into meaningful, measurable impact.
