I'm delighted to announce that I've reached Expert rank on Codeforces. After a period of inactivity, I returned to competing in October, and in under two months I raised my rating from around 1150 to over 1600. This experience showed me that focused practice, analyzing my mistakes after every contest, and persistence can deliver results in a short time. Thank you to everyone who supported me along the way, and I'm excited and motivated for what comes next.
