Hi, I'm Chidi. š
I write articles about what I'm learning and building on this blogāmost of them about programming and technology. I also keep a list of software projects I've made.
To explore some of my interactive writing, see The Game Called Life, Text Search with Tries, and Quadtrees in the Wild.
You can find me on Twitter at @chidiwilliams__ or send me an email at [email protected].
