One of the first principles of optimization is to do it right. And then the second is make it fast.

My name is Artie Humphreys and I'm a recent graduate from the University of Virginia where I studied Computer Science and Mathematics. I was inspired to create this blog by my colleague, Barrett Ruth, who has been an invaluable mentor over the past few years.
I love learning about how things work, from high-level design choices to micro-optimizations. I'm incredibly passionate about effective and high-performance software. I've previously worked at SitScape, Biocore LLC, and Walmart, and will be joining BlackEdge Capital in August.
Below is a collection of writeups from my own explorations. I strive for clarity and accuracy, so if you catch any mistakes or have feedback, please reach out to me at ah.artiehumphreys@gmail.com
