Kodin Certification

Become a Verified
Code Auditor

Built on Kodin’s Code Audit feature. AI generates the code. You read it, reason about it, and assess it like an engineer — across seven angles. Earn Verified Code Auditor 1★ through 5★.

Seven engineering angles

The same lenses from Kodin’s first feature — Code Audit — and the ones every Verified Code Auditor must master.

01

Time & Space Complexity

Big-O analysis — and why those bounds exist for the chosen approach.

02

Data Structures & Patterns

Abstractions and algorithmic choices behind the implementation.

03

Intent Drift

Does it solve the exact problem — or quietly change the requirement?

04

Execution Tracing

Walk a sample input step by step through the logic.

05

Edge Cases & Failure Modes

Boundaries, nulls, empty inputs, and bad data behavior.

06

Articulated Explanation

Explain the logic clearly in your own words — not copied comments.

07

Trade-off Analysis

Alternatives, performance vs readability, and when another approach is better.

Where you earn Code Auditor

Become a Verified Code Auditor 1★, 2★, 3★, 4★, or 5★. Two paths — compete for the first three, examine on-site for the top two.

Compete · Levels 1 → 3

Verified Code Auditor 1★ to 3★

Earn Verified Code Auditor 1★, Verified Code Auditor 2★, and Verified Code Auditor 3★ by competing and clearing progressive levels — not by watching lectures alone.

  • Verified Code Auditor 1★ — complete Level 1 competition (basic programming knowledge).
  • Verified Code Auditor 2★ — complete Level 2 competition (programming + DSA).
  • Verified Code Auditor 3★ — complete Level 3 competition (programming + DSA + bug finding).
On-site examination

Verified Code Auditor 4★ & 5★

Become a Verified Code Auditor 4★ or Verified Code Auditor 5★ only after completing a supervised on-site examination.

  • Syllabus: basic problem solving, backend APIs, and system design constraints.
  • Verified Code Auditor 4★ — on-site exam at professional depth.
  • Verified Code Auditor 5★ — on-site exam at expert depth, full seven-angle mastery.

Verified Code Auditor 1★ to 5★

Five credentials. One ladder. From foundational programming judgment to expert on-site verification.

Verified Code Auditor 1★
Earn by competing · Level 1

Basic programming knowledge

Become a Verified Code Auditor 1★ by proving you can read AI-generated code with solid fundamentals — syntax, control flow, and introductory checks across the seven engineering angles.

★★
Earn by competing · Level 2

Programming + DSA

Become a Verified Code Auditor 2★ when you combine coding fluency with data structures and algorithms — assessing complexity, patterns, and whether an AI solution uses the right abstraction.

Compete · Level 2 Programming DSA
Verified Code Auditor 3★
★★★
Earn by competing · Level 3

Programming + DSA + bug finding

Become a Verified Code Auditor 3★ by going beyond “it runs.” Find intent drift, edge-case failures, and subtle bugs in AI-generated solutions while competing through Level 3.
