programming contest
During my undergraduate studies (2003–2005), I dedicated a significant amount of time to the ACM International Collegiate Programming Contest (ICPC). I competed on teams that secured multiple championship titles at both regional and global levels:
- ACM International Collegiate Programming Contest - World Finals 2005, World Champion (photo)
- ACM Asian Collegiate Programming Contest - Ehime Site 2004, Champion
- ACM Asian Collegiate Programming Contest - Taipei Site 2004, Champion
- ACM Asian Collegiate Programming Contest - Beijing Site 2003, Champion
research environment
I recently transitioned to Doom Emacs as my primary environment for writing, note-taking, and development. This ecosystem offers a highly integrated experience—notably its robust LaTeX support and the unparalleled versatility of Org-mode. While the learning curve for Emacs Lisp and the "never-ending" configuration process can be daunting, AI tools like ChatGPT and Claude have streamlined the experience, making it easier than ever to build a bespoke research environment.
To complement this setup, I utilize LazyVim for rapid edits. The synergy between LazyVim and Doom Emacs is a significant advantage; because both environments employ the space bar as a primary leader key, I can maintain consistent muscle memory and a unified workflow across different platforms.
hobbies
I enjoy video games of all kinds, and I am a big fan of Role-Playing Games (RPGs), ranging from story-oriented "JRPGs" to action-packed "Souls-likes". Although my schedule is tighter these days, I still carve out time for the genre's best offerings. Lately, I have been thoroughly enjoying Elden Ring, Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, and Clair Obscur: Expedition 33.
I also like watching Japanese anime and manga.
