Google Code Jam

While working on the set of practice problems prior to the competition I created a framework in C# that could handle loading in and parsing a file, as well as provide a nice UI to do so. Setting this up ahead of time assured me that all my time would be able to be devoted to solving the competition's core problems.

Participating in the Google Code Jam showed me how quickly I can code, as well as many complicated math problems that were fun to learn the solutions to.
