Guinness World Record - Blindfolded Rubik's Cube (22.67 seconds)

Dec 2016 – Jul 2018 · 1 yr 7 mos · Berkeley, California, United States

I broke the world record for solving a Rubik's cube while blindfolded in 22.67 seconds: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N8MNEngonTs
Skipped my classes at UC Berkeley and flew around the world competing in tournaments. I had the privilege of being sponsored by both the worlds largest speed-cubing retailer and manufacturer. I traveled to many cool places such as Paris for the 2017 Rubik's Cube World Championships.
I then built algfinder.com to generate efficient solutions for blindfolded-solving because it sucked doing it by hand.
