Childhood


I was born on May 6, 1986 in the Dokuchaevsk city. My father - Victor Goshko (1958 born), engineer, mother Victoria Goshko (1958 born) - history teacher. I am the second son in my family. My brother Stas is the first child in the family and older than me for 4 years. According to him, when I was a baby I cried and didn’t fell asleep until he sang songs for me :). I do not actually remember the kindergarten, because I didn’t like it, it was boring. Since conscious age I loved to paint (so far remains many drawings), as well as assemble models from various meccanos - relatives said that come out well as paint.

Among other things, I felt a technocratic interest in the disassembling almost everything that cames into my hands. When all was disassembled, I asked my father to have another thing, once he gave me a clutch of VAZ 2108, it was unable to disassemble - I was upset.

School


Misty September morning, parents brought me to school #5 of Dokuchaevsk city, I was 6 years old. I sleepy stood on a "line" and did not understand what we all doing here, some rules were told us, I don’t remember, in general, bureaucracy of 37 order. I studied well. Most significant events of the school #5 were a few fights in the junior classes, and how I broke my nose, performing some nightmare trick on skid. I first became acquainted with computers in school time, it was quite expensive Toshiba laptop with x86 architecture. With brother we only played Doom 2 and tried to examine Norton Commander.

In the 6th form, I already went to the OSFMSH #17 Donetsk, because we moved with whole family for permanent residence in Donetsk. I and brother enrolled in the Karate section in Donetsk. During study in school #17 I immediately felt the difference between regular school and a school with a physical-mathematical classes. On the first day I received 3 on lesson of the Russian language :). It was necessary to read much more, later I studied algebra and geometry with a coach. After a while I began to get good marks.

A new hobby appears in school time - to create 3D images at that time still fairly new 3D Studio Max R1. A little later I began to study HTML and Perl on my own. In the 10th form I published my first article on the basics of HTML. Further followed a row of similar articles.

By the end of the school, it was clear to me that my further life will be related to the IT. Although in the choice of profession and university I had difficulty with an answer, as well as in childhood when others asked me, whom I want to be. After some time, I began intensively go in for algebra and informatics it had one goal by then - to enter a university by ratings.

University


And in 2003 I enrolled in DonNTU in the same profession as my brother - "Economic Cybernetics" faculty of computer engineering and computer science.

One of the first lectures was a lecture of Anatoliy Skvortsov, it seemed to me originally, that was lost student he is looked like an arab, which arrives in our country, on my opinion by millions, but it turned out that he is a teacher.

And by some strange coincidence, I was dismissed from a lecture :). Thus I met with the deputy of dean[2] Oleg Fedyaev.

Roaming on endless corps and corridors, finally I succeeded to find the deputy of dean. When I entered in an auditorium, the piercing squeak of lamp television sets struck on ears. At this moment I thought that the time has stopped.

Whole entourage of auditorium and sitting man in glasses dipped me in 60s of USSR. As best as I can I tried to explain for Oleg Ivanovich that I am not guilty. Despite this, very long speech followed about importance of discipline educational process and etc. A dean asked me to write the statement like "will not be anymore", which was then cleaned in a soviet folder on laces. Also Oleg Ivanovich underlined importance of this statement, how hardly not criminal case - I understood at once, that I entered a very serious university. That it not one from those many universities which present nothing of itself, except for as expensive daily nurseries :).

Later on study I got the complete group of marks from E to A. Good and excellent marks prevailed mainly on subjects related to IT.

In 2007 got the diploma of bachelor on specialty "Economy of enterprise". Subject of my master's degree work the "Marketing analysis of tools protecting from Spam". My supervisor is Valery Kostin.

Plans for the future


My plans on the nearest future is the successful defence of master's thesis, and also strengthening the knowledge of English and arrangement for high-paying perspective work, where career growth is possible.

A little later writing of article and appearance with it at Black Hat[3] computer security conference. In a prospect to open the software development company, and to go out to the world market and take a certain percent by own products.
