I’m a software engineer with a strong focus on problem solving and algorithms. I’ve solved 7000+ algorithmic problems across platforms like LeetCode and Codeforces, ranking in the top 0.16% on LeetCode and achieving Candidate Master on Codeforces. My background is deeply rooted in data structures, algorithmic thinking, and writing efficient, scalable solutions under constraints.
Beyond solving problems myself, I mentor students and engineers to master problem-solving skills for coding interviews and technical assessments. I focus on building strong fundamentals and recognizing patterns.
