C++ Standard Library "Crash Course"
This is something I wrote back when I was younger—my first blog post ever. Even now, I sometimes go back to it as a quick crash course for syntax and expression.
About Me
I’m Joyjit Choudhury, a computer science researcher and software engineer. I like to work on complex problems in Distributed Systems and Artificial Intelligence.
I am currently a graduate student at the University of Victoria, Canada, where I work with Dr. Alex Thomo. My research interests include Very Large-Scale Databases and LLM-based multi-agent orchestration. Previously, I worked as a senior software engineer at Turvo (a US-based logistics startup acquired by Lineage) and as a full-stack engineer at Oracle.
I hold a bachelor’s degree in Computer Science & Engineering from NIT Durgapur. Outside of work, I enjoy reading, cycling, listening to music, and playing Rocket League.
Here are some of my past and ongoing projects.
