About

I'm Ziad, a Computer Science & Engineering student pursuing a Master's degree at Politecnico di Milano, with a strong interest in algorithms and computational problem-solving.

I enjoy solving complex problems using spreadsheet formulas. I am currently a Google Platinum Product Expert in Google Sheets. I mostly contribute on the Google Help Community and Stack Overflow. I've also made a few contributions to Rosetta Code and two small contributions to the OEIS (A081344 and A101882).

Outside of code, I have always liked puzzles, such as the 15 puzzle (PB: 6.7 seconds on mobile) and the Rubik's cube (PB: 13.6 seconds). I also managed one successful blindfolded solve after around two weeks of practice, then decided that was enough. Other fun things I have learned include memorizing every country's flag and exact location on the world map, and calculating calendar dates in my head using Conway's Doomsday algorithm.
