About Me

Hello! I'm Joshua Ganschow, a Computer Science and Mathematics student at Dakota State University with a strong background in competitive programming and algorithm design for combinatorics and graph theory. I enjoy creating impactful projects and continuously expanding my knowledge in the fields of graph theory, combinatorics, and all things computer science.
