  • Co-authored 5 CodeChef contests and created 30+ interview-style problems at WeCreateProblems (WeCP), emphasizing time/space optimization, algorithmic design, and best practices for high-level technical interviews.
Coach & Team Leader
National Olympiads in Informatics · January 2024 – August 2024 · Tashkent, Uzbekistan
  • Mentored and trained top-performing students in advanced algorithms and data structures, leading to multiple national achievements and an IOI qualification.
  • In collaboration with the Ministry of Digital Technologies, organized an educational camp for girls interested in IT, fostering diversity and inclusion in the field.
  • Served as the Coach and Team Leader for Uzbekistan in the European Girls' Olympiad in Informatics (EGOI 2024), where a student achieved a bronze medal.
Scientific Committee Member
National Olympiads in Informatics · September 2023 – August 2024 · Tashkent, Uzbekistan
  • Created more than 40 IOI-styled competitive programming problems that include advanced algorithms and data structures, including graph theory, dynamic programming, and more.
  • Each problem consisted of 3–9 smaller subproblems, each requiring additional preparation and a feedback system, allowing participants to earn partial credit. These problems were used in regional olympiads that served as selection rounds for international olympiads (IOI, EGOI, IZhO, etc.).
  • Developed more than 25 ICPC-styled problems for various regional olympiads for high school students, where the hardest problems played a crucial role in determining the winners.
