Daumilas Ardickas

Daumilas Ardickas is a Lithuanian programmer and mathematician based in Vilnius. He represented Lithuania at the International Mathematical Olympiad in 2004 (Honourable Mention), 2005 (Bronze) and 2006 (Silver), and at the International Olympiad in Informatics in 2005 (Silver) and 2006 (Bronze). He holds a PhD in Mathematics from Vilnius University and a BA in Mathematics from the University of Cambridge, and has published research on random graph connectivity (with Mindaugas Bloznelis). He works as a programmer at Web Robots, a B2B web-crawling/scraping company, and is also a published board game designer (e.g. the deduction game 'A Carnivore Did It!').

Notes11

• Represented Lithuania at the IMO three years running, improving from Honourable Mention (2004, 7 pts) to Bronze (2005, 22 pts) to Silver (2006, 21 pts).
• Represented Lithuania at the IMO three years running, improving from Honourable Mention (2004, 7 pts) to Bronze (2005, 22 pts) to Silver (2006, 21 pts); also IOI Silver 2005 and Bronze 2006.
• PhD in Mathematics from Vilnius University and BA in Mathematics from the University of Cambridge; research on the connectivity threshold of superpositions of Bernoulli random graphs with Mindaugas Bloznelis (Mathematical Reviews lists 3 publications, classification 05 Combinatorics and 68 Computer Science).
• Also competed at the IOI (informatics) in 2005 (Silver, rank 28) and 2006 (Bronze, rank 104), strong across both Olympiad tracks.
• Co-authored 'Connectivity threshold for superpositions of Bernoulli random graphs' (arXiv 2023; published in Discrete Mathematics 2025).
• Works as a programmer at Web Robots, a Lithuanian B2B web-crawling/scraping company; the Instant Data Scraper browser extension is one of their products.
• Board game designer: co-designed the deduction game 'A Carnivore Did It!', published by Horrible Guild (2025) and reviewed by Meeple Mountain in Dec 2025 - a creative outlet that echoes his combinatorics background.
• The same person spans three distinct identities (Olympiad medallist, academic mathematician, software/board-game creator) all anchored in Vilnius, suggesting a long-term local academic-and-industry career rather than a move abroad.
• Board game designer with a BoardGameGeek entry; titles published e.g. with Horrible Guild.
• IMO 2006 Lithuanian team included Kestutis Cesnavicius, Aistis Atminas and Vytautas Gruslys - a Vilnius cohort that fed into research mathematics; Ardickas stayed in Vilnius for a math PhD.
• Built EVOROUTE, an electric-vehicle routing/scheduling optimization engine, modelling routing over real road networks - applied optimization work consistent with his math background.
• Kaggle user 'daumilas' (Vilnius), programmer at Web Robots; profile shows limited public activity, last seen years ago.
