About me

Hi! I am Chengyuan. I grew up in Shanghai and study Computer Science at MIT (BS + MEng).

I am interested in computer systems, particularly software performance engineering. In simple terms: I enjoy making programs run faster!

About this blog

I built this blog to record and share my adventures in computing, most often as I hack around random personal or school projects11 Some of my ear­li­est post­s al­so in­clud­ed notes on com­pet­i­tive pro­gram­ming tech­niques or so­lu­tion­s. Please ig­nore them: I was n­ev­er a top com­pet­i­tive pro­gram­mer (nor was I a good writer in high school). These post­s are here on­ly for archival pur­pos­es. . Many of the notes here are just for my reference, but I'd be delighted if you find them useful too!

The blog itself was initially built on top of Hexo and underwent a complete rewrite in Go + HTMX in late 2024 to improve style, customizability, and performance22 This blog al­so has an ut­ter­ly use­less fea­ture: it work­s with JavaScrip­t dis­abled. Try it out! . I hope you like the design of this blog.

  1. Some of my earliest posts also included notes on competitive programming techniques or solutions. Please ignore them: I was never a top competitive programmer (nor was I a good writer in high school). These posts are here only for archival purposes.
  2. This blog also has an utterly useless feature: it works with JavaScript disabled. Try it out!
