I will write editorials to various competitive programming problems that I find cool. The problems I do are usually from cses.fi, HackerRank assessments, and codeforces.

Since I want to increase the pace I solve problems, I cannot write about every problem, so I will just write quick editorials after contests. My goal with writing a short editorial is to make sure the intuition behind a problem sticks for longer. Now, I primarily do problems from codeforces, atcoder, cses.fi, and HackerRank tests.

On top of problem editorials, I now post updates on projects and ideas I have.

Now I am seriously trying to push my codeforces rank.
This is me on codeforces: thejamba
Here’s a little about me:
my name is Varun. I study computer science at UCI. I also interned at Intel for some time.

The name of the site changed from my github username to “project by varun”. I am not doing all that well in codeforces contests. I need to find more time to upsolve problems.

I am taking Scientific Computing, Efficient ML Computing, and graphical models. I’m going to try do some past kaggle and atcoder heuristic contests.

At LA Hacks, I stayed up all night making this vector search thing aided by image encodings. My project was good, but this is not how work is supposed to be done. I fell asleep during the awards ceremony. The same thing happened last time, except last year I made a lame project. At least this time, the Intel sponsor people shouted out my project.
