First of all I would like to thank my parents. Zalipynis Larisa Anatoliyvna and Zalipynis Antonina Gavrilovna are my mother and grandmother. They always support me over my lifetime. If I do anything good that’s because they taught me do that. Exactly with their prop I have become who I am now. I think no more words are needed.

My full name is Ramon Antonio Rodriguez Zalipynis. I was born on 13th September, 1985 in Druzhkovka town, Donetsk region, Ukraine. I can be even more precise: I saw the world for the very first time at about 2 a.m. That was a beautiful September night.

I have some hazy recollections of my early childhood, but for some reason I have some feeling as if I remember how I was creeping on all my fours when I was very little.

In my childhood I had been attending three kindergartens. The first kindergarten left memories about how it was distant and it was very and very difficult to reach it. My mother had been working in it for some time. Also I had been attending “Zaychik” (it had been re-equipped for lyceum, but the building had been left the same: small rooms, knotty passages, low-ceilinged, but floor with heating-up). In this “kindergarten” I had been staying 8-11 grades when I had been studying at lyceum. Recently lyceum has become a gymnasium and younger grades study in that building. In “Solnyshko” kindergarten my mother works as a nurse. It is the best of the mentioned above kindergartens.

Also I remember how I didn’t want to attend kindergartens. I didn’t like many aspects, especially meals and regimen – I never slept in the daytime.

Nevertheless, childhood is the brightest time in my life from what I remember. I didn’t spent much time outdoors, but also didn’t waste time indoors. Everywhere I had interesting occupations.

My school years turned out to be the most fairy-tail, just incredible and exceptional time of carefree and sincere child’s happiness. I regularly breathed fresh air, went to vegetable garden and helped there. Each year I had a resort at sea where I got a tan. In the past I had such strong tan that with my black hair and very black back I looked like a real black-skinned African. I had always to bring it home to everyone that I haven’t had such in my stock.

I finished fist three grades with no letters of commendation. That was because of low marks in physical culture and singing. Hereafter I made up leeway: later there were no music (how one could overcome it?) and I was freed from physical culture.

Fortunately, I was accepted to lyceum without exams. I wouldn’t have entered lyceum if it had been several blocks farther than my native school.

This time seemed to be the most happy in my life. It was lyceum where I began to study computer science, algorithms, write programs, participate in competitions.

The eighth and ninth grades I had been studying studiously, in tenth grade I devoted all time to learning programming, in eleventh grade I began to study again, participated in “MAN”.

From the first course of lyceum I’ve actively begun to participate in competitions. At first, I tried out myself everywhere, but than I found myself in computer science and English; hereafter I would even hesitate in choice between those two disciplines when entering University.

I took prize-winning places in regional competitions in computer science; participated in regional competitions in English.

The elder you become, the faster time is passing. And university is behind. But I have quite vivid recollection of how I had been filing my documents, how I had been solving mathematical problems during the interview… As if it was just yesterday. I had no doubt in choosing speciality. My choice was software support because I wished to study more algorithms and mathematical disciplines.

Maybe the first course was less hard than the others. The most difficult on the first course was the adaptation to the new city and regimen. But now I don’t consider myself adopted, because the most difficult matter one has to settle in Donetsk is accommodation.

On the second course I’ve got acquainted with my advisee who had been giving lectures in discrete mathematics to our group. In this course my individual task related with studying of the first heuristics suggested for graph partitioning problem. I expressed my wish for science and began to read papers and participate in conferences.

Participations in conferences were of benefit to me, because I was nominated for the best report award several times. For some reason I want to mention the course project on the third course. Maybe that was the longest and interesting task.

The results of my research began to appear. I have become interested in discrete combinatorial optimization paradigms, inspired by nature. I keep in mind how I had been generating ideas of application of ant paradigm to graph partitioning problem, implementing that ides, experimenting. Interesting that when ideas failed or, vice versa – succeeded, I was more surprised than upset or glad.

By the first course of MA more weighty results of my research appeared. I chose my master theme "Methods of solving graph partitioning tasks using computer cluster network" as a continuation of my SSS. By the grace of God, in “Çàâòðà.UA” competition I and my results were appreciated and I was awarded of scholarship for 2008 year.

Well, we have reached the final mark. Still, it is somewhat agonizing to write about myself. And it is impossible to tell about everything on these small pages.

If I have favorable conditions I will devote my time to scientific search. I suppose that near years of my life will last in working as a programmer. In far perspective I imagine myself first of all as a researcher working on an enterprise.
