About Me

CS undergrad from China 🇨🇳 Currently trying to get better at competitive programming, one problem at a time.

Main language: Python 3 🐍 (yes, I know it's slow. no, I will not switch to C++)

Goals

• Solve 100 problems ✅
• Solve 500 problems
• Stop getting TLE on problems that should be easy 😤
• Eventually learn C++ (maybe... someday...)

Journey

• 2025: Discovered DMOJ, started grinding easy problems to learn algorithms
• Mostly doing greedy, math, and string problems for now
• Trying to work my way up to DP and graph theory 💪
• I like reading other people's solutions after I solve a problem — always something new to learn

Interests

• Algorithm problems (obviously)
• Python scripting & automation
• Backend development
• Playing video games when I should be practicing 🎮

Notes to self

• Read the problem statement carefully before coding
• Check edge cases BEFORE submitting
• n=1 is always an edge case
• TLE doesn't mean your logic is wrong, it means Python is slow 😂

"The best time to start grinding was yesterday. The second best time is now."

Feel free to reach out if you want to discuss problems or study together 👋
