ASPIRING ALGORITHMS AFICIONADO

ABOUT

Hi. I'm Euan Ong, a secondary school _

My aim is to create elegant solutions to everyday problems with technology. In reality, I end up kludging together hackish solutions to niche problems with technology... but I'm learning.

Over the past few years, I have produced a number of full-stack JavaScript/PHP webapps and Android apps, and have dabbled in Python and Node.js. More recently, I have started contributing to the open-source community Sugar Labs. In addition to these pursuits, I enjoy solving algorithm and competitive programming puzzles in C++, mostly from dunjudge.me and CodeForces. I also have built and maintain my own server, on which this site is hosted.
