My name is Jenny. I graduated from the University of Waterloo with a Bachelor of Mathematics in Combinatorics and Optimization. I minored in Pure Math.
Here are some assorted facts about your friendly neighbourhood jy2wong.
-
I've been happily running Arch Linux for a couple years now.
-
I really like AVL trees.

I used to be super obsessed with string searching algorithms for no particular reason. I'm no longer able to hold long conversations about the finer points of Knuth-Morris-Pratt implementation details, but I still think they're cool.
-
I once contributed code to a string searching algorithm page on Wikipedia and spent a couple weeks defending it from stupid changes (at least one of which caused the code to output incorrect results). I gave up due to school demands. To this day I have difficulty looking at that page. It's bad for my blood pressure.
-
I think convex optimization is the coolest kind of optimization.
-
I transcribed tetris music some time in second year.
