Saatvik is the president and founder of CAPEbuilds. He is currently a senior at Cary Academy, aspiring to study engineering while in college. During his Junior year, Saatvik was tasked with finding organizations in the community development sector that his school could partner with. Naturally, due to his love for the outdoors, he chose to focus on playgrounds and other outdoor recreational facilities; however when he searched for a local philanthropy to partner with he was disappointed that such a non-profit did not exist yet. Rather than looking elsewhere, Saatvik took the initiative to start an organization to help improve access to quality playgrounds and  other outdoor recreational facilities in underserved communities, founding CAPE builds in the Summer of 2023. 

Ryan is the Vice President. A Raleigh native and graduate of NC State, he has worked for many years in the telecommunications industry. Ryan is excited to bring his technical and organizational talents to the CAPEbuilds team.
