This repository is dedicated to tracking my journey through the OSSU Computer Science curriculum. This curriculum is a complete path to obtaining a strong foundation in computer science, covering a wide range of topics from programming to systems, theory, and applications.
I am dedicated to self-paced learning, focusing on mastering the fundamentals of computer science. I will document my progress here, including:
- Notes and summaries of key concepts
- Code implementations and projects
- Solutions to problem sets
- Reflections and takeaways from each course
