What I'm looking for

I am seeking roles combining research and algorithm development, mentoring opportunities, and a collaborative, intellectually rigorous environment where I can grow technically and contribute to competitive programming or applied math projects.

I am a second-year Pure Mathematics student at Jagiellonian University in Kraków and a second-year Computer Science student at National Aerospace University in Kharkiv, with strong competitive programming credentials and deep mathematical training.

I achieved Cur. Master on Codeforces (handle: barbie), represented Ukraine on national teams at international programming contests, and earned multiple medals in national Olympiads in informatics, physics, and chemistry.

I've led and taught teams and students: competitive programming instructor at Q-BIT, olympiad math teacher at Smart School, and instructor at summer schools preparing students for IOI and IMO levels. I also worked on AI tutoring content for NEARCrowd and served as a Physics Expert at Mercor.

My technical toolkit includes C++, C#, Python, Java, Wolfram Mathematica, LaTeX/Overleaf, and familiarity with teamwork and remote collaboration tools; I am fluent in Russian, Ukrainian, English (C1+), and Polish.
