I’ll keep the intro short—I’m a full‑stack developer from Nigeria, known as CRAN3 (my Call of Duty username and the handle I use across most socials). I just shipped something I’m excited to share.

My Journey with DSA

I struggled with data structures and algorithms. Not because I didn’t try—quite the opposite—but repeatedly reading “Binary Search is O(log N)” didn’t click for me. I needed to see it happen. So instead of fighting the frustration, I leaned into it and built AlgoTracker.

AlgoTracker

AlgoTracker is a visual DSA tool. You pick an algorithm, feed it some data, and watch it run in real time, step by step.

Features include:

Linear and Binary Search
Selection Sort and Insertion Sort
A step‑by‑step visualizer
A time‑complexity graph that actually runs each algorithm and plots how long it takes based on input size (watch O(log N) stay flat while O(N²) shoots up)

Built with React, Tailwind CSS v4, and Recharts.
