I’m Daniel!
For everyone who’s seen my old website, I apologize dearly. Anyway, here’s some stuff about me!
Projects
Here are some of my projects, in roughly chronological order.
spark (2020-2021)
spark was my first truly ambitious project; I was bored during COVID and was curious how programming languages worked, so I did some digging and found Ruslan Spivak’s amazing Let’s Build a Simple Interpreter series. Following the tutorial in C++ rather than Python and switching up the features and syntax, I ended up with spark. Try it out for yourself here!
blocks (2021-2022)
If you do any kind of programming, I’m sure you’ve heard of Scratch, the infamous block programming language. Take a wild guess as to what blocks is (be patient; the page may take a while to load)!
usaco.guide (2023-present)
If you haven’t checked out the usaco.guide before, please do! Here’s some of what I contributed, in no particular order:
- GitHub integration with the usaco.guide editor (PR here)
- Self-updating repo of USACO problems
- Metadata parser from problem url (PR here)
the parser in all its glory
I also contributed some content, but it’s not particularly noteworthy.
Achievements
- USACO Platinum
- 3x AIME Qualifier
…and there’s not much else :)
