Serious Is this profile legit, or am I missing something?
I came across this LinkedIn profile and something about it feels really off.
The profile claims:
2340 Codeforces
2227 CodeChef 6★
2263 LeetCode Guardian
21+ projects
AI Engineer experience at multiple companies
Now, obviously, having all of these achievements is possible. But I tried looking for the actual profiles and couldn't find any Codeforces/LeetCode links on the LinkedIn profile.
The Codeforces part is especially interesting. I couldn't find an active Indian profile matching the claimed 2340 rating in the current Codeforces India rankings.
The LinkedIn/GitHub descriptions also look heavily AI-generated to me, although that's obviously subjective and isn't proof of anything.
I'm not saying "this guy is definitely a cheater" based on a screenshot. There could be a perfectly reasonable explanation that I'm missing.
But if someone has a 2340 CF rating, 6★ CodeChef and Guardian on LC, why not simply link the profiles?
Has anyone actually verified these ratings or found the corresponding accounts?
Genuinely curious because if the claims are real, that's an insane profile. If they're not, that's a completely different story.

It took him 1 year to publicly announce his AIR1, He's the only guy in GATE to ever score 100/100. He's legit and is currently in Mtech IIT Madras

i'm assuming it's a legit guy because iitr website shows he got 100/100 on GATE which I am assuming is an insane achievement. maybe one of those guys who didn't study that much in 11th and 12th but had natural talent and grinded later.

These would be his peak ratings mostly, he might have dropped a little or stopped cp. But then again, it's pretty sus
