Stephen Ye
Hey! My name is Stephen, and I'm a rising senior at Miller Place High School.
My passion for computers began when a Linus Tech Tips video unexpectedly popped up on my reels feed. After months of part-researching and a couple of personal flips, I was inspired by a Wharton entrepreneurship program I attended to create this company. CycleCircuit Tech started as a small venture with a group of friends, flipping PCs by sourcing used components, restoring systems, and delivering high-performance machines to those seeking powerful yet affordable setups. It’s been an incredible journey of problem-solving, collaboration, and learning how to create value in a competitive space.
Beyond CycleCircuit Tech, my love for PC hardware has always been a defining part of who I am. My personal rig includes a 7800x3d and RTX 5070, and I specialize in ITX and SFF builds.
Outside of technology, I’m deeply involved in activities that have shaped my leadership and teamwork skills. In my free time, I enjoy playing chess, violin, and tennis. As a chess expert, I’ve had the chance to share my love for the game through a nonprofit I founded (go check it out! https://www.liyouthdevelopment.org/chess). I've also played the violin for the last 9 years (currently studying at Manhattan School of Music Pre-college) and enjoy staying active on the tennis court.Â
