Short biography

I was born in 1984 on December, 5th (at 16.30 in the evening) in the city of Tyumen. Since birth I parents lived there (with my parents, of course) in a hostel for airport workers. In 2 years we moved to Makeevka where my mother's parents lived. There I went to a kindergarten № 47. At the age of 4 I was sent to a section of figure scating and had to leave the kindergarten. When I was about 7 I went to school № 57 with joy. There I has completed forms from 1-st to 11-th and each with a sertificate of good work and conduct.

In elementary school, besides figure scating I visited a school of arts, went in for acrobatics and learned English, and in addition to all this I liked reading so much, that I read each and all books that only fell into my hands. Since the sixth form I ceased to go in for sports and took a great interest in intellectual games ("That?Where?When?", "Brain Ring", "Chocolate Tale ", etc.), I was taking part in championships, which resulted in numerous victories of my team"Sigma" in regional championships among students and schoolchildren, and also in a title of vice-champion of Ukraine. From the sixth to the eleventh forms was taking part in regional and city competitions in mathematics, biology, Ukrainian, law and chemistry. In the beginning of the tenth form we were divided into different directions - economic, philological and legal. Well, I went to the economics class where I learned programming in which I later became interested. As a consequence, I participated in regional competitions in computer science. I also took part in various mathematical competitions and many other things. I actively participated in the life of my class and school. Eventually I completed school with a gold medal.

Then I faced a difficult question - What next? In my chilhood I liked exact sciences, computer science, as well as, medicine and biology. There was an offer to become a doctor, but I was frightened off by physics as an entrance examination in a medical institute.

Hence, I had to choose the Faculty of Computer Science and Informatics of Donetsk National Technical University. From the available specialities, such us Computer Engineering, System Programming, Software Engineering it was necessary to choose just one. I decided, that to learn better computers and everything is connected with them it was necessary to study Computer Engineering. In 2001 I successfully passed an interview, became a student of DonNTU and began to study computer systems.

At this moment I live with my parents in Makeevka, I am on my fifth year at the University. And I work on my research project called "Development of training systems". The project is developed in the Visual C++ programming environment on Windows XP operating system. The scientific supervisor of my project is Teplinsky Sergey Vasilevich.

Analysing the situation in computer hardware market, I can say that the speciality of “Computer systems and networks” has great potential. However, I wouldn't like to be engaged in network programming or embedded system programming in future. I would like to become a Web-designer, because this profession requires not only programming scills, rut also creativeness.

In the nearest future I also plan to receive a degree in economics. As for Computer Engineering, it seems to me, this speciality will not lose its topicality soon.
