I am a Computer Science student at the University of Toronto, I have 1YoE in C++.

I am mainly interested in backend development and high-performance computing, but I am always looking to learn something new!

Projects

Ray tracing benchmark

I implemented sphere renderers in Java, Python, Numpy and CUDA and benchmarked them.

Java code turned out to be 50x faster than CPython, and CUDA implementation is 1000x faster!

Check the benchmark results here: https://github.com/chopikus/raytracing-bench

Game Of Life Client

Any white cell with 2 to 3 neighbours stays white, any black cell with 3 white neighbours turns white. Otherwise a cell turns black.

This client can compute millions of updates for a 50000x50000 grid in less than a second.
Supports mobile and desktop.

URL share

I also wrote a small app that makes short URLs. Here is the source code in Go.
