About me

Brief Summary:

Hi, I am Aditya Dargan. I am 16 years old and I live in Houston, Texas. My hobbies include speedcubing, juggling, website design, programming, table tennis, and tennis. I am interested in  investment banking. I am also interested in derivative trading. I currently operate a website, www.cubegeek.net , which is about my interest in speedcubing, which is the activity of solving the Rubik’s cube as fast as possible. I am the president and founder of the Houston Cubing Association, which is a nonprofit organization whose main goal is to promote the idea of speedcubing in the Houston,Texas community.On June 14th,2008, the Houston Cubing Association held a local Rubik’s cube competition in Houston which was the first of its kind. This competition attracted speedcubers from all over Texas to come and participate. Later on, the competition had sparked enough interest to have more competitions held in Texas. I have traveled to various competitions in the cities of Dallas, Houston, and Austin to compete in Rubik’s cube competitions. I have won a couple of awards in various categories ranging from 3×3 blindfold solving to 5×5 speed solving.I have a youtube channel dedicated to speedcubing as well. The link is youtube.com/rubikgenius. On my youtube channel, I have video tutorials for written tutorials posted on my website. The  most popular video has received more than 20,000 views. My website, www.cubegeek.net, has dozens of articles related to speedcubing. I have written most of the articles myself, but there are some articles that were written by other site visitors. I am a juggler as well. I started out juggling only 3 balls, but now i am capable of juggling four balls and a wide range of other 3 ball patterns. I have experience making websites using Drupal and Joomla, two of the most powerful open source content management systems on the Internet. In programming, I want to learn C++ , PHP, and Java.
