About Me

Hey there! My name is Jeremy Fleischman. I love the outdoors, coding, reading, and speedcubing. I particularly love to combine my interests in weird ways, and attempt to do stupid things.

Present

I am helping build the future of caregiving at Honor.

Past

I graduated from San Clemente High School in 2006, and UC Berkeley in 2010.

Dan Dzoan passed the presidency of the Rubik’s Cube club at Berkeley to me in January 2008. While president, I organized 7 Rubik’s cube competitions to varying degrees of success. I also ran the speedcubing DeCal, and was an instructor for the beginner’s Rubik’s Cube DeCal.

In March 2010, I handed the presidency to the amazing Vincent Sheu. Under Vincent (and as of this writing, the next 4 presidents!), the club has only continued to mature and grow. There is nothing I am more proud to have played a role in.

Not long after graduating from Berkeley, I attended US Nationals 2010 as a staff member and became US National Champion of one handed.

At Berkeley Spring 2013, I set the North American Record for one handed single with an 11.28 second solve.

I worked at Arista Networks from August 2010 to March 2015, when I left to found and lead the WCA Software Team.

I worked at Saddle Point Systems from December 2015 to May 2016.

I led the World Cube Association Software Team from March 2015 to October 2019.

Projects I’m particularly proud of

(in roughly chronological order)

• 2003: I got a TI-83+ for high school, and became fascinated with calculator games. I couldn’t understand why the games I wrote in TI-BASIC ran so much slower than the amazing Phoenix. This led me to United TI and ticalc, where I learned about assembly programming. I struggled through a tutorial on Z80 assembly, and eventually completed The Poopsmith.
• 2007-2010: Developed CCT along with Ryan Zheng, the first piece of software to interface with a stackmat timer over an audio cable.
• 2008: Wrote a 2x2x2 solver for Gamescrafters. Built a simulator blatantly modeled after Ryan Heise’s seminal heise sim. This eventually grew into a suite of simulators known as jflysim.
• February 6-7, 2010: Participated in the UC Berkeley Hackathon with Peter Battaglino, Kevin Jorgensen, and Darren Kwong. Developed an ascii Rubik’s cube simulator in python with ncurses. We each won $20 to Cheeseboard =). See Kevin’s writeup of the event and Peter’s rewrite from scratch.
• 2010: After finding myself occasionally using qqtimer, I finally admitted to myself that webapps are generally easier to use than desktop apps. I abandonded CCT, and starting writing a webtimer (which eventually became TNT. Too lazy to port CCT’s scrambling and drawing code to javascript, I decided to generate scrambles server side, and TNoodle was born.
• January 1, 2013: TNoodle adopted as the World Cube Association’s official scrambler.

I’ve also contributed to the WCA Workbook Assistant and twisty.js.
