Hi 👋🏿 My name is Carlton Aikins, and I'm a student at the University of Southern California 🌴 studying 🛠️ Computer Engineering

I've been passionate about building products since I was 14, starting my UI/UX journey right before COVID and publishing my first mobile app at 15.

I'm driven by a desire to create products that help people live better lives and learn more about the world.

Currently, I'm building Stora, an AI-powered app store & play store submission platform.
