Ganesh is a second-year Artificial & Data Science student at St. Joseph's College of Engineering who treats competitive programming like a full-time sport and Linux like a personality trait.
Known around campus as Skillrack Ganesh, he is one of the college's strongest competitive programmers, with one very specific endgame: ICPC Global Finale.
I don't need another laptop.

Competitive Programming
Skillrack is basically home turf. One year on the clock to chase the ICPC Global Finale.
Local AI
The LOQ's GPU runs Ollama locally, turning spare compute into a tiny AI lab.
Home Lab
Laptops and desktops pull server duty: Ubuntu, Tailscale, Jellyfin and media infrastructure.
