Most of my code I am writing in C++. Most of my professional work was done in C++ (including work at Google). On ACM ICPC World Finals and regional competitions earlier we used C++. Now when I am preparing competitions, creating problems, model solutions and input generators are almost always in C++.

Participated many times in regionals of ACM ICPC. Once on ACM ICPC World Finals. I am very actively working on creating problems for such competitions. Also I am working as teacher in school where I teach algorithms and data structures young, bright students (mostly High School). Some of them have successes in Informatics Olympiads on national level. Also, in professional job I used algorithms very extensively. For example when I worked in company creating computer games I helped them with ranking formula for matching players, so their level is similar.

I use Python as scripting tool. Whenever I want to write some small piece of code quickly and I know it will take me 10-50 lines - I do it in Python. At Google some of my code was written in Python. Especially when I helped in organising Google Code Jam competition. I don't think I am expert at Python, but I wrote a bit of code in Python and feel quite comfortable.

Know about relational databases. Did several projects using MySQL and PostgreSQL.
