Programming as a hobby

Coding Challenges

I really like coding. Here you can find the latest programming problems I solved, mainly Advent of Code, some LeetCode and challenges from Project Euler.

Prologin 2016

I participated in the 2016 edition of the French National Computer Science Contest, for people under 20 y.o.

I passed the first qualification phase that included programming tasks done online, then went to the regional event that includes a written exam and programming problems to solve on a computer.
