My evaluations are grounded in hands-on experience with Python, Golang, and Swift, as well as a strong interest in modern AI-driven approaches and their practical application in real-world systems.
I was invited to serve as a judge at AITEX Summit, a quarterly online event bringing together developers, designers, researchers, and industry leaders to solve real-world problems using AI. I am grateful for the opportunity to evaluate projects focused on practical impact, collaboration, and innovation across high-impact domains.
I was honored to be invited as a judge for the QA Hackathon – Bug Hunters Challenge, an online competition dedicated to software quality and reliability. The event brings together QA engineers, developers, SREs, and testers to work with real-world APIs, design test strategies, and compete in intensive bug-hunting challenges. I was glad to contribute to evaluating participants’ technical depth and practical QA skills.
I was pleased to serve as a judge at this Turing Day hackathon focused on innovation in educational technology. Teams developed interactive educational games based on a deliberately encrypted challenge revealed only at the event start, ensuring fair competition. I am thankful for the invitation and for the opportunity to assess creative and technical solutions aimed at making education more engaging and accessible.
I was honored to be invited as a judge for The Premia Runeta, a national IT award established in 2004.
