    • The team was the region champion in 2015
  • In 2016, I supervised a group of 3 trainees of different levels.
  • In 2017, I supervised 30 students, many of them were part of the top teams in the region
  • In 2018, following up with some trainees from 2017 and few guys from 2018 applications
  • In 2017/2018, involved in SFU-ACM-ICPC administration/problem setting activities for their Winter Programming Contests.

Channel and Sheet

  • In 2013, I have started recording videos for almost all what I learned in competitive programming
    • My youtube channel: Arabic Speech, but English Materials (Github).
    • The intent is not an algorithmic channel, but competitive programming perspective
  • Juniors Google sheet of around 800 problems covering what trainees need for Codeforces Div2
    • Newcomers waste much time in an organized fashion.
    • The sheet offers a complete roadmap: What to solve and learn in order
  • Semi-senior Google Sheet: In Progress
