Introduction

I am a Backend Software Engineer with strong Computer Science knowledge looking for a new remote role.
I am particularly good with Algorithms and Data Structures, having competed in ICPC twice.
Please look at my highlighted projects below.
Check out my LinkedIn Profile for more information.

rsync algorithm implementation, now in C++.

This is a data structure commonly used for Strings in Competitive Programming that I saw fit to our application at work. It performed much better than our previous solution. More information is found on the repository.

This is an old University Assignment on Concurrency. Multiple cars go through shared sections of a road.

Freelancing

My first work experience was through Freelancing. I am Top Rated Plus on Upwork, with 100% Job Success Score and 5-star feedback. I have also trained a client for "Big Tech" coding interviews, including problem-solving techniques, specific algorithms and data structures, and interview preparation.

Competitive Programming

I have regularly practiced Competitive Programming for mostly two years.
I am currently rated "Expert", with 1729 rating, and more than 1400 problems solved.
I have also been a nationals finalist for ICPC twice, the two times I have participated.

Online Courses

My first self-learning experience was with Online Courses. Top-tier universities provide quality courses for free, on platforms such as edX, Coursera and MIT OCW . They also usually come with an "audit" option, where you can go over the courses resources (sometimes even the exams!) but without the Certificate of Completion. That was what I did, as the certificates were too expensive at the time.

Courses that I've audited, in no particular order:

Honorable mentions to:

  • Fundamentals of Statistics, which I've attempted to go through when pursuing Data Science and ML, but it was way too hard for me at the time, haha
  • Introduction to Algorithms MIT's Playlist on Youtube, which I've watched a good amount because of Competitive Programming, but didn't attempt any exam or exercise.
