Advanced algorithm design with formal correctness proofs. Studied divide-and-conquer, dynamic programming, greedy algorithms, network flow, NP-completeness, and approximation strategies.

• Topics: Recurrences, DP, greedy, reductions, P vs NP, approximation algorithms

Fundamentals of 2D/3D rendering pipelines — from geometry transformations to rasterization and shading. Programming assignments covered ray tracing, texture mapping, and real-time rendering techniques.

• Topics: Linear algebra for graphics, rasterization, shading models, OpenGL, ray casting

Systems programming focused on how user-space code interacts with the OS kernel. Covered processes, threads, file I/O, synchronization, and network sockets through hands-on projects.

• Topics: Processes & threads, concurrency, POSIX, file descriptors, shell implementation, virtual memory

Full software development lifecycle in a team setting using Agile/Scrum methodology. Semester project: a full-stack bubble tea restaurant POS system built by a 6-person team. Served as project manager and backend developer — Live Demo.

• Topics: Agile/Scrum, version control workflows, code review, system design, testing, deployment

Core study of fundamental data structures and their algorithmic applications. Implemented and analyzed trees, heaps, hash tables, and graphs with formal complexity analysis.

• Topics: Big-O analysis, linked lists, BSTs, AVL trees, heaps, hash tables, BFS/DFS, Dijkstra's algorithm

Low-level architecture — how code becomes hardware behavior. Covered digital logic, ISA design, assembly programming, the memory hierarchy, pipelining, and cache performance.

• Topics: Boolean logic, x86 assembly, cache design, pipeline hazards, I/O

Survey of language design paradigms — imperative, functional, and logic programming. Hands-on work in Haskell emphasized functional reasoning, type systems, and higher-order functions.

• Topics: Type systems, functional programming, lambda calculus, parsing, Haskell
