Skipped my classes at UC Berkeley and flew around the world competing in tournaments. I had the privilege of being sponsored by both the worlds largest speed-cubing retailer and manufacturer. I traveled to many cool places such as Paris for the 2017 Rubik's Cube World Championships.

I then built algfinder.com to generate efficient solutions for blindfolded-solving because it sucked doing it by hand.
