PowerOfPi joined AoPS on April 30, 2009. He owns a blog named Math World which has a mixture of math and his thoughts.

PowerOfPi is an 11th grader who started competition math with the 2008 AMC 8 (in seventh grade), and ever since enjoyed math. He also enjoys chess, soccer, science, and programming.

AoPS Forum

PowerOfPi has contributed to a few resources on the AoPS forum, listed below. He isn't very active at the moment, though.

• Tip of the Week - a new concept for middle school competition math was discussed every week
• Problem of the Day - started and mostly maintained by isabella2296
• MMC - with a few other users, another mock MathCounts competition ranging from School to State level
