Levy Rozman
I was born in Brooklyn, New York in 1995 to immigrant parents who came from a background in Physics, Mathematics, and Computer Science. When I was 5, my parents argued about which afterschool classes they should sign me up for.

Throughout my childhood, I was ranked in the Top 5 for my age category in the United States. But I never told anyone about my hobby—the one time I did, I was bullied mercilessly for being a nerd.
