cs & math @ umass. interested in gpus, c++, perf, and literary fiction.

but who can wear just one hat? this is a low-profile place for notes, small ramblings, and whatever floats my whimsy that day.

reach out if you’re also just figuring it out, especially in systems, cp, or your next read.

stuff i’m doing / did
  • building cft, a codeforces tracker for deliberate practice. planning to open source it, probably, eventually. it’s almost there.
  • documenting my learnings and life
  • trying to get less cooked at competitive programming
  • keeping this site small enough that i still want to update it
