T1 Hackathons are a series of intellectual competitions focused on creating breakthrough solutions. Team MISIS MOJARUNG—Kirill Veriyalov, Albert Khramov, and Alexey Koshelev—won the “VibeCode Jam: The Interview of the Future” track. Participants were tasked with developing an AI platform for conducting technical interviews with a virtual interviewer. The team’s solution covers the entire interview cycle, from generating adaptive algorithmic challenges to producing a detailed candidate report. The AI interviewer handles all stages of the interview, while the platform also includes job listings and résumé sections.
Second place in the same track went to Daniil Ananyev, Timur Khamidullin, Artur Arakelyan, and Alan Khalibekov from team YSL MISIS, who developed the VibeCode ecosystem for technical interviews. The platform combines a browser-based coding environment, an AI interviewer, automated solution evaluation, résumé analysis, and the creation of a candidate skills map.
In the “Self-Deploy: CI/CD Without DevOps” track, third place was awarded to team larek.tech. They developed a command-line tool, larek cli, which automatically analyzes a project’s code repository structure, generates a configuration file, and launches a pipeline that builds, tests, and runs the project on the GitLab platform. Experts particularly noted the support for monorepositories—a rare and technically challenging feature for solutions of this kind. Instead of keeping each project in separate folders maintained by different people, all projects are stored in a single large repository, allowing the team to manage them collectively. NUST MISIS was represented by students Vasily Tarasov and Evgeny Gurov.
Team preparation for programming competitions and support for the development of the university’s IT communities is provided by the NUST MISIS Center for Technological Competitions and Olympiads. Since 2021, student teams have won more than 38 million rubles, securing 264 prize places across 143 hackathons.
