My Patented Invention : Engineering Sunlight Into Science. My Journey as a Scientist with my UVSavior system.

When I first began exploring how technology could intersect with health, I was struck by how invisible risks often go unchecked. Sun exposure, for instance, is something we take for granted—until it quietly adds up to serious long-term consequences. That realization sparked what would become UVSavior, a system I co-created and ultimately patented.

From Concept to Community Impact

UVSavior was designed to go beyond simple timers or sunscreen reminders. It calculates cumulative UV exposure in real time, adjusting the output for factors like SPF protection, individual skin tone, and hereditary risk. What started as a high school science fair project quickly grew into something with the potential for public health impact.

The prototype was tested at Lifetime Fitness in Garland, Texas,

Recognition and Evolution

The system has been recognized at regional, district, and state levels, including a 2nd-place award at the Texas State Science & Engineering Fair (2022). But more than medals, the iterative process taught me how to keep refining—adding wireless connectivity, personal health inputs, and user-friendly visualizations.

Expanding the Vision: Heat and Stress Monitoring

Building on that foundation, I created a heat stress monitoring system that integrates environmental sensors, WBGT calculations, and even a chatbot to offer hydration and safety guidance. This extension continues the same theme: using computational tools to tackle real-world health challenges. It, too, has been recognized through the Texas Junior Academy of Sciences and multiple science fair awards.

What I’ve Learned

These projects represent more than devices; they reflect my approach to research and innovation. I’ve learned to pair technical rigor with creativity, and to persist until abstract ideas take tangible form. Whether it’s publishing AI tools, presenting at conferences, or securing patents, I now see myself as a scientist with both the vision and the persistence to create solutions that make a difference.
