About my life

I was born on a frosty starry evening, 24 of February in 1987 in Kirovograd. It was the 9-th year of my parents marriage life: Yevgeny Ivanov and Ivanova Lyudmila. Kirovograd is a small, provincial, and though the regional center, town. I didn’t like it at all, and in two months we moved and settled in Makeevka town, Donetsk region, in the most ecologically safe district of Donetsk and Makeevka near the Botanic Garden. In my childhood I would walk in the shadow of local and overseas trees, took a rest on the bank of small charming lake. I remember that our neighbourhood unit was still under construction and new houses appeared and appeared on the waste grounds every year. In a short time a new kindergarten was built there. I attended it only for 1,5 months. I hated it as I had always been surrounded by charming nannies with whom I had walked and had fun. So I couldn’t stand those strict nurses in the kindergarten. I’ve loved freedom since my childhood.

I went to school ¹37 at the age of 7. It was easy to study. I always got excellent marks. A pack of diplomas and a gold medal are still in my old bookcase gathering dust. At school I had a lot of friends with whom we constantly had fun, despite strict teachers. Our friendly relations remain strong up today.I liked the teachers who had good sense of humor though being strict. I am very grateful to our form mistress Sajkovich Tamara, although most of us believed that she scoffed at us then. Suppose that lots of people find themselves in similar situations, but we treat them differently having become older. I used to be fond of entering school contests on different subjects, visiting new places and meeting people. Informatics was my favourite subject and I was interested in computers. The Internet was a great help to me though not many people had even idea about it. I was totally petrified by the amount of information it contained.

From my childhood I've taken a great interest in basketball and table tennis. Me and my friends used to spend all the evening long on a basketball playground, unfortunately, there is no time for it now. I went to drama school for several years, it was funny. Once I took a lesson of ball-room dances and decided that it was not for me. I fixed upon sports dance classes which I was taking for some time. I did some acting, participated in various competitions. In higher forms I had to refuse these pleasures, after all it was the time for preparations to entering the university. I haven’t got to like for Mathematics. Practically at once I fixed upon Donetsk national technical university. It was quite an amusing story about the choice of speciality. One of my good friends was studying at the faculty «Computer information technology and automatics», speciality «Electronic systems» and I made my mind after interviewing him about the studying. According to the ratings I took the fourth place, out of three possible… I was upset, but after all I had to do something further. It was all the long arm of coincidence, and I’m very grateful. I learnt about «Computer science» department only when I walked along the 4-th building, and now I am here. I could enter study-for-free form of education, but thanks to my good studying and efforts throughout four years, I could enter scholarship magistracy so I am very happy and proud of myself.

University years as they say, are really the happiest period in life. Now it is a little sad, time runs so quickly… Studying at university has shown the advantages of going up and down, but all in all there is always a spell of bad and good luck in life. On the second year at university I decided to try to work and study at the same time, but in one and a half year I understood that it was too difficult. Studying was becoming more and more difficult, and there was more and more work… The choice was made in favour of high-grade study. I would not tell that it was in vain to go to work as I obtained enormous experience in communicating with people of different age and status, experience of computer vector design of advertising production that repeatedly helped me in the course of study. On the 4-th year of studying I had to make choice of the supervisor of studies and my master’s work theme. My tutors advised me to address to PHD Alexander Anoprienko, with whom I was not familiar yet. Now I understand that my choice was completely justified. Alexander Anoprienko constantly helps and advices me and I am very grateful to him. He helped me to choose and formulate my master’s work theme: «Development of hard-and-soft facilities of faculty's content management system».

For several years I’ve been working on the Internet projects of a full cycle, ranging from design to their search optimization. I am almost sure that my further life will be connected with it. I’m planning to run my own firm and assemble really amicable and well-consolidated staff. In the near future I hope to complete my master’s work and to develop it to such high level that our faculty and its students can benefit from it.
