*** Please read my profile first before sending a request *** I was born in a small town in Belarus and moved to Germany in 2015. Since then I've been living in Munich. I would describe myself as a very curious person who is excited about the differences between cultures and backgrounds. I enjoy CS and hitchhiking because of the feeling of familiarity and the fun of meeting a new person that I never would have met in my daily life. After graduation, I would like to become an Investment Data Analyst and help people make better financial decisions. Update Aug 2021: I'm still on my way there. Update 2023: Employed as Big Data Analyst Update 2024: Additionally self employed as financial consultant Update 2025: I work a lot but it pays off Fun fact about my fears: I'm struggling with my fear of jumping into the water from above 2m height.

My Interests
Andrei: I'm a typical explorer who seeks to know a little bit about everything rather than having a deep understanding of something. I like talking about making a business, startups, finance, and of course traveling. When I was a child, I was good at chess and even became a champion of Belarus, so I still love it:) 2025: got my motorcycle driving licence! Happy:)
