📚 About Alan Turing:

Alan Mathison Turing (1912–1954) was a British mathematician and cryptanalyst who revolutionized logic, computation, and cryptography. His codebreaking work at Bletchley Park was crucial to the Allied victory in WWII, and his 1936 paper introduced the concept of the Turing Machine, the foundation of all modern computers.

Though persecuted for his sexuality, Turing’s legacy endures — honored today as the father of computer science and an icon of perseverance and intellect.
