My rating graph has been all over the place and my performances have been like rainboy's without even trying.

I finally reached Expert on yesterday's contest with my first ever Master performance!

I started participating in Codeforces contests again on Nov 23, 2025 when I was 1073 before INOI (Indian National Olympiad in Informatics, India's national informatics olympiad which selects participants for IOITC and ultimately the Indian team for IOI). I qualified for IOITC through that INOI with a mid-high pupil rating (around 1400 during IOITC), mostly because I was grinding oi instead of cf.

After 11 months, yesterday I finally reached Expert (1663).

I reached 1596 two contests ago, then fell back around 90 points. But because of the recent rollback that happened, my peak technically became 1610 even though I never actually reached Expert.

Now I'm finally Expert for real.
