On November 28, the final of the hackathon for IT specialists took place in Moscow as part of the Impulse T1 conference with the support of 27 experts and mentors from specialized IT companies, including T1, X5 Tech, Innopolis University and others. The event concluded a series of hackathons held in four cities of Russia. More than 500 students from 152 teams took part in the competition. Total prize fund hackathon series amounted to 3.8 million rubles, of which 1.2 million rubles were shared among the winning teams from Moscow.
Participants worked on two cases – VibeCode Jam and Self-Deploy. In the first case Students were tasked with creating an AI platform for technical interviews with a virtual interviewer. The system should record candidate metrics, protect against cheating, and generate reports. As part of the second task, participants developed intellectual script, fully automating the creation process CI/CD-pipelines – a chain of steps through which the program code passes from the moment of writing to launch in the production environment.
The best solution to the VibeCode Jam case was presented by MISiS students: Alexey Koshelev, Kirill Veriyalov and Albert Khramov. The second place was also taken by the MISiS team consisting of Timur Khamidullin, Aslan Khalibekov, Artur Arakelyan and Daniil Ananyev. Third place went to USPTU students: Vladislav Chasovskikh, Artur Akkuzhin, Dmitry Telyanov and Mansur Davlyatyanov.
“The uniqueness of our solution is the seamless connection of a full-fledged development environment (IDE) and adaptive AI. We didn’t just create a chatbot, but created a system with a secure Docker sandbox and anti-cheating protection, which saves recruiters up to 50% of their time. The hackathon as part of Impulse T1 gave us the opportunity to test hypotheses in an extremely short time and receive feedback from experts. This experience showed how quickly we can assemble complex architectural solutions. We plan to develop the platform to make technical hiring completely objective and transparent,” the winner of the direction, MISiS student Alexey Koshelev, shared his emotions.
In the second case — Self-Deploy — The solution of the team presented by students from different universities was recognized as the best: Mark Egorov (Bauman Moscow State Technical University), Muhammadjon Khasanov (RANEPA) and Sofya Panova (Plekhanov Russian University of Economics). The second place was taken by the MTUSI team: Kirill Borodin, Vasily Kudryavtsev, Katerina Yunosheva, Vera Petrosyan and Alexander Mokin. Third place went to MISiS students – Vasily Tarasov, Evgeny Gurov, Egor Tarasov and Mikhail Kaygorodtsev from Moscow State Pedagogical University.
“We have created a tool that understands the project and automatically builds a CI/CD pipeline for it. For developers, this is like a small victory over the eternal struggle with YAML – you just press a button and say: “work!” The hackathon from T1 was a great opportunity to test ourselves and see how our idea comes to life, for which many thanks to the organizers! I really want to continue the development of the project. I was especially surprised by my own resistance to stress and how productively you can work in such conditions and with extremely short deadlines,” said the winner of the case, a student at the Bauman Moscow State Technical University, Mark Egorov, about his impressions.
“Impulse T1” is a series of annual industry conferences organized by the T1 IT holding. Over the entire period of events, hackathons have become an important part of the forum and an indispensable platform for students to exchange personal experiences and find innovative solutions.
