Hi! I’m Uday Shankar, a senior studying Computer Science and Mathematics at Carnegie Mellon University.

Hobbies

• Bouldering: Unfortunately this has been on a hold for a while now due to safety concerns with the virus, but I got into bouldering in August 2019 and enjoy it a lot. Currently I climb at ~V3.
• Music: I enjoy listening to music, mostly pieces taken from video games/tv shows/anime.
• Video Games: Some of my favorite titles are Breath of the Wild, FTL: Faster Than Light, and Super Smash Brothers Melee.
• Exploit Development: Recently, I’ve gotten back into binary exploit development (which I was first introduced to via CTF competitions in high school) and have been thinking about doing writeups for some of the more interesting challenges I’ve solved.
