Logan is a high school student who single-handedly designed and built the Nexus Pen — from PCB layout and embedded firmware to the mobile app and AI backend. He conceived the product, architected every layer of the tech stack, and led the company from idea to launch in under a year. When he's not writing firmware or training AI models, he's pushing the boundaries of what student-led innovation looks like.
