Hi, I’m Pranshu. 👋

  • Automata and Computability
  • Graphics and Visualization
  • Game theory
  • Graph theory
  • Combinatorics
  • Algebra I and II
  • Topology
  • Measure theory

Hobbies

I like to walk or cycle around the city and explore new places. I like to do some street photography, eat street food, and play with street cats and dogs on the way.

I like to write puzzles. While I enjoy solving puzzles — I occasionally solve problems on Project Euler — I enjoy creating puzzles even more. Writing a puzzle that others would find interesting and would want to solve is very challenging indeed.

I love programming. I have previously dabbled with functional programming in Haskell as well as Android app development in Kotlin. I am currently learning game development using the Godot game engine.

In my free time, I read books, solve the New York Times crossword and Spelling Bee, or play bullet chess (1+0) on lichess.org.
