Competitive Programming
The Perfect Programming Interview Problem
Is there such a thing as a perfect programming problem? Let’s find out
Fun with array rotations
Rotate an array, they said. It will be fun, they said.
Finding Shortest Paths using Breadth First Search
Wait, we can use BFS for shortest paths too? Tell me more.
Recursion Demystified
In order to understand recursion, you must first understand recursion.
Change the signs, a Codechef Problem
How to use dynamic programming to solve a competitive programming question.
Tree Traversals explained
A class of lazy students trying to cheat on their exam.
How to solve the Baby Lizards Problem — a fun twist on the N-Queens problem
Using graph traversals and some tricks to approach a subtle twist on a classic backtracking problem.
Let’s Backtrack And Save Some Queens
Let’s take a look at solving this classical backtracking problem.
Deep Dive Into Graph Traversals
An overview of the famous Depth-First Search and Breadth-First Search algorithms and their differences and use cases.

Software Engineering
Life of a Software Engineer at Microsoft
A retrospective of my time as a software engineer in the Azure DNS team at Microsoft.
Manager to the rescue!
How my manager saved me from breaking 50 production servers. A retrospective on a potential screw-up on our production system due to a bad piece of code.
Life Lessons from a 21 years-old
Lessons learnt by a young Software Engineer.
Load Balancing
How we fine-tuned HAProxy to achieve 2,000,000 concurrent SSL connections
Read on to find out all the tweaks we did to extract those teeny tiny bits of performance from a reliable and highly used load balancer.
Load Testing HAProxy (Part 2)
Part-2 of the 3 part series on breaking the limits of the open-source HAProxy, which is a reliable, high performant TCP/HTTP load balancer.
