CS Student / Experimenter / Writer
I experiment with things
that fascinate me.
No boundaries, no limits. Algorithms, systems, ML, design—if it sparks curiosity, I dive in. Then I write about whatever clicks.
Things I've figured out
Notes on systems, algorithms, and patterns worth remembering
Git Diff Is Just LCS
Every CS student grinds LCS problems on LeetCode. But do they know it powers git diff? A deep dive into the Hunt-McIlroy algorithm and why your DSA practice is more relevant than Twitter debates suggest.
Programming L-caches
A practical guide to CPU caches, sparked by a slow laptop. Learn how simple changes to your loops and data structures can dramatically speed up your code.
Beyond %d: The Hidden World of printf Formats That Most Devs Never Use
Bet you only use %d in your printf statements. Time to discover %x, %o, %b and unlock debugging superpowers you never knew existed.
