Hello there :suspect:, I am Paul Artushkov (also known as pavTiger)

Since early childhood, I've been interested in technology. I started with soldering some boards and Arduino components. Then I slowly switched to Robotics olympiads with LEGO EV3 system. And went to RRO (Russian Robot Olympiad) in Innopolis. As I went to the fifth grade, I switched to more practical programming (that was the time when I started using GitHub). Enjoy hackathons very much and have been to many of CROC ones (and won a few). Recently, I started doing competitive programming while studying in Tinkoff Generation.

I study in an IT & Math school named Silaeder, which is targeted to science projects.

Languages I know well: Python, C++, Javascript, C, Bash
I have a lot of experience with Linux and bash scripting. Having tried a big variety of graphic libraries and frameworks, I've found Three.js, which is used in many of my projects.
I enjoy animation & 3D modeling as well. Here's some of my work.

English level B2 proven by Cambridge exam PET (Currently my level is ~C2, but I didn't take the exam yet due to COVID and other limitations). Have lived in a host family in England twice to become more fluent in the language. Lived in Hastings and then Cambridge, the later is now my favorite city.

As much as doing projects I like going to science conferences. I've participated in Balt Konkurs in Saint Petersburg twice, winning 3rd-degree award and Youth jury laureate prize in Computer Science. Also, won Advanced Research Award in an International Korean conference KSASF

Internships

  • I've been on an internship at a company named Visyond as a backend developer. They are creating an Excel for business people. I fixed some issues and even improved execution time in some parts of the code by a few times. It was a great experience☺
  • In July 2023 I was an intern in a company Telepat and working on their main product medsenger (medical messenger) as a DevOps and system administrator. Packaging their main backend into a docker container and starting services on-premises
  • Currently I'm an intern in a company Renaissance Capital, there I work with Power BI, especially Power Query which is an Excel add-on that is a tool to manage your data and do some other programming tasks

My favorite hackathons and achievements:

  • MediaHack - May 2019. Won the nomination "Hellish coders" because we wrote a tonn of code with great architecture and the organisers apparently really liked the way we were coding
  • CraftHack - August 2019. Had a fun time soldering Arduinos and trying to make a terminal game
  • Winner of Data analysis National olympiad (DANO) 2022
  • WildHack - December 2021. First big hackathon since COVID started. Got together with some friends and wrote a Neural Network recognising fish in photos from a reserve park in Kamchatka.
  • DHHack - November 2019. Our team won in nomination "Best research solution"
  • HSE Gamedev - July 2023. We created a small game on Unreal Engine inspired by Outer Wilds in just under 2 weeks and won in our nomination
    Here are all the sources (presentations, etc) for these hackathons.

Other than all that technical stuff, I also really enjoy listening to music (love soundtracks, classic music, EDM and some rap), flying FPV drones and working with cameras.
If you want to contribute to any of my repos, you are more than welcome to do that!!!
