about
Zaheer Paracha
Software developer with 15+ years building for Fortune 500 companies. Writing here since 2007 — mostly Java, algorithms, and whatever web-development problem was in front of me that week.
This site started as a place to write down solutions to day-to-day programming problems so I wouldn't have to solve them twice — and so other developers hitting the same wall could skip the search. That's still the goal. The archive holds everything from the last 15+ years that didn't make the cut for the main site, kept around because deleting a working link helps no one.
If you're dealing with a problem in Java, algorithms, or web development, there's a decent chance it's covered here — and if it isn't yet, that's usually just a sign of what's coming next.
Working together
Available for consulting and contract work — backend systems, Java, and web application development.
