About
Hi there! I’m a software developer who goes by the name Nayuki. (... chose the name after eating mommy’s mystery jamu?) I reside in Toronto, Canada, having studied computer science at the University of Toronto. Besides computers, I am also interested in mathematics, photography, anime, and cosplay. As you look around, you’ll notice that these are the major themes on this web site.
I maintain this web site to share stuff that is meaningful to me, including:
- Explaining my understanding of things:
e.g. Casio fx-991MS tips and tricks, Some bit-twiddling functions explained - Showcasing my work for its quality or uniqueness:
e.g. Chemical equation balancer (JavaScript), Facebook anniversary ray trace - Talking about one of my personal circumstances:
e.g. I type in Dvorak
(Prospective employer? Please have a look at the supplement to my résumé.)
Contact
I appreciate your feedback about my programming/math/writing work. Let me know if there’s something that can be improved, if you did some related work, or a piece of my work was useful to you, etc.
Good examples:
You have a typo on the page “Good Java idioms”, in the phrase “get a obejct”. (Please tell me about typos/errors, no matter how small! I aim for perfection.)
I worked on a Caesar cipher breaker too, and I thought I’d let you know about how my work goes beyond yours.
Thank you for your triangle solver! I’m a high school student in Alabama, and your calculator was helpful for checking my homework answers.
Bad examples:
I saw your calculator page, and can you help me with this derivative question?
can u tutor me? Plz post more project euler solutions! where can i find the sine funciton?

As long as your email message is polite and reasonable, I typically reply in less than 24 hours.
If you want help for your personal problem, you must make a minimum donation of 20 USD, and I will try my best to help you. Otherwise this policy applies: If you have a question to ask me, please first try to find the answer by yourself, by searching and reading Google, Wikipedia, etc. I expect you to do your preparation before contacting me.
I’m available for consulting services – for example, if you would like me to customize one of my programs for you, or write a new program that is somewhat similar to my existing works. Consulting rates start at 100 USD.
