Recently, Weibo was swept away by this 22-year-old programming genius girl
During the primary and secondary schools, he swept the competition and won the "Programming Olympiad" ICPC championship. It is worth mentioning that the 22-year-old Russian girl has just joined Huawei and will engage in research on intelligent computing application acceleration technology.
The girl was Valeria Ryabchikova.
At the end of 2021, Valeria joined Huawei to conduct research on intelligent computing application acceleration technology.
It can be said that Huawei has ushered in a world-class genius teenager, is it a million-dollar annual salary scale?
In his sophomore year of high school, he began to participate in programming competitions and was extremely talented
Born in 2000, Valeria was particularly fond of solving interesting mathematical problems at a very young age, and showed a great talent in mathematics, which can be said to be a mathematical talent.
She has participated in numerous math competitions during elementary school and in the tenth grade she has participated in programming competitions (Russian secondary schools).
Valeria has been active on the Codeforce platform since her tenth grade (equivalent to our sophomore year of high school), and after going to college, she still tirelessly "plays CF", knocks code, and does tasks:
Codeforce is an online programming platform similar to Leetcode, the basic gameplay is also based on the topic of the task online, but more competitive programming, mainly for competition, the originality and difficulty of the topic are higher.
By 2020, she had completed nearly 2,000 missions and scored more than 2,100 points.
Huawei's origins since college
In an interview, Valeria said with a smile: "When I was in college, I considered joining Huawei.
As the world champion said, her relationship with Huawei begins with the university.
In 2017, Valeria enrolled at Nizhny Novgorod University.
In college, Valeria has retained her interest in "programming and mathematics" since she was a child, not only joining the school's Institute of Information Science Mathematical Mechanics, but also actively participating in various programming competitions.
In 2020, a summer camp called PtzCamp (Petrozavodsk Programming Camp) was announced, which caught Valeria's attention:
This is a training camp dedicated to ICPC for "pre-game training", both in terms of difficulty and format, which is very similar to ICPC.
For Valeria, who loves programming, it is undoubtedly a good opportunity to accumulate experience in the top international programming competitions in advance.
So she signed up for the 38th PtzCamp and won the championship with a high score. (ps: The quality of the title of this competition is very high, and the difficulty is also very large)
After a competition, Valeria was spotted by Coach Shmelev Alexey of "Bó Lè" and invited her to join her own ICPC training class.
Alexey joined Huawei's Nizhny Novgorod Institute in May 2021. Outside of work, he also insists on doing ICPC training for his students.
In the same year (2020), the 44th ICPC was launched, and the "experienced" Valeria formed a three-person team with two other alumni to lead coach Shmelev Alexey to their "Olympics" and won the championship.
ICPC and Informatics Competition
ICPC is the world's largest and highest level of international collegiate programming design competition, known as the "Olympic Games of programming".
According to the information, nearly 60,000 college students from more than 100 countries and more than 3,000 universities participate in the competition every year, and only the best teams can enter the world finals, and the award-winning college students are also considered the best programming talents.
The significance of ICPC competition is not only the competition itself, but also a good way to improve a person's algorithm design ability when facing a problem. Whether it is going to the field of scientific research or industry, it is very helpful for individuals.
Many players who participate in informatics competitions will choose to continue to participate in ICPC competitions after entering university. Like what:
Sogou CEO Wang Xiaochuan, 8th IOI Gold Medalist, gold medalist of ICPC Regional Competition, finalist of ICPC World Final;
Lou Tiancheng, the founder of Pony Zhixing, was the 16th IOI gold medalist and twice won the ICPC World Final Silver Medal;
Megvii Chief Technology Officer Tang Wenbin, 2005 NOI Gold Medalist, former ICPC World Final Silver Medal;
Princeton Assistant Professor Danqi Chen, 2008 NOI Gold Medalist, silver medalist of the 2010 ICPC World Final...
There are many such examples, informatics competitions have a lot to do with ICPC, maybe you who are studying informatics will also win icpc in college, join Huawei, and earn an annual salary of millions.
