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
