I have taken part in some of the most prestigious speedcubing competitions worldwide. In 2019, I was a competitor at the Canadian National Championship. In 2022, I competed in the first ever North American Championship that was officially recognized by the World Cube Association. In 2023, I represented Canada in the US National Championship, which, at 1028 competitors, was the most competitive competition ever held at the time, including the previous World Championship.
I am also the President of Waterloo Youth Cube Club, a not-for-profit club that teaches students how to solve Rubik's Cubes. As of July 2024, I am currently in discussion with Cubing Out Loud, Canada's largest speedcubing store, on expanding my services.
I solved my first Rubik's cube in 2013 at the age of six. However interesting and cool it was, I only started speedcubing in January 2018, when I decided that I wanted to solve it faster, for fun. Since then, it has been my primary hobby, outside of school and my other extracurricular activities: swimming and piano.
My best events in the World Cube Association are the 5×5 Cube, 6×6 Cube, and 7×7 Cube, with my peak rankings being in the top 100 in Canada in the single and average categories of all three events.
My best ever ranking was #47 in Canada for the 7×7 cube.

I offer cube teaching services to youth age 8 - 18 how to solve the Rubik's Cube at Bridgeport Community Center in Kitchener, Ontario on Saturday Mornings.
Registration for the April 2023 session is now open! Click here, or the link above to go to the main page for my Cube Teaching Service
A lot of the content surrounding Rubik's Cubes that you'll see will be found on my YouTube Page, but is also posted here. There are also downloadable PDFs on this page that you can use that obviously are not on YouTube.
Rubik's Cube solution.pdfHow to solve a Rubik's Cube
This is a step-by-step guide that I made on how to solve the Rubik's Cube using a beginner method, that is both easy to understand while being able to achieve fast solve times.
This was made in 2020, and I plan to make an updated version that I plan to release later this year (2023). This current version is extremely algorithmic, which although might make it involve less thinking and be more appealing to beginners, I have slowly strayed away from that style of teaching, preferring a much more intuitive thinking sort of approach. This new version will be a slightly modified method with the focus of being more intuitive, making it easier to learn. But for now, this will suffice.
Please note that the method that I teach in my Rubik's Cube class is not this method.
All the PLL algorithms that I currently* use.
PLL (short for "Permutation of the last layer" is the last step in solving the Rubik's Cube. This set of cases has been heavily optimized and the algorithms in this video are very good. (This doesn't apply for many algorithm sets, where the algorithms can be excecuted with such high speed, while boasting an acceptably low movecount and easy recognition.
*As of May 2021, which was before this website was made. As of April 2022, two algorithms have changed, and I plan to make an updated version soon.

Competition Solves
A few of the solves I have done in competitition. These are not my best solves anymore, but they were at the time of filming. I hope to obtain more videos of my official solves to post on my speedcubing YouTube page soon!
Example Solves
In these videos, I walk though my thinking process in a 3×3 Solve, giving a glimpse of how I solve a cube normally.

What else am I supposed to say?
This video is 10 seconds long
It is about Rubik's Cubes
And Numbers
Hence the Title.
This video somehow got almost 30000 views all of a sudden in March and April 2022. I don't know what happened, but YouTube just randomly started recommending this video to people and it gained so many views just randomly in a such short period of time.
Right now it's at 65000 views. You should click it to make it 65001.
