SuboptimalEng/README.md

😅 TL;DR

I've worked on dozens of projects and made 120+ YouTube videos over the last 7+ years! I don't know how to capture all that information succinctly, so I made this readme.

👋 Hi, I'm Suboptimal!

  • I'm an Indian-American software engineer
  • I'm passionate about C++ and computer graphics
  • I post long-form video tutorials on YouTube, and work-in-progress demos on Twitter and Threads
  • I also like to watch anime, play video games, and run long distances

🤓 Projects

    • Fun fact, I actually started (and stopped) this series before NeetCode!
      • My 20th LeetCode tutorial was released on Dec. 30th, 2019
