ABOUT ME

Some of my interests include: yoga, meditation, dancing, fitness, sports, programming, etc. I am someone that is easy going and like to explore new places and be mindful and try to help others when I can. I currently work as a software engineer in Brooklyn, New York and will be working remotely while traveling (starting January 2019).
I was originally born in Lviv Ukraine and moved to New York when I was 11 where I spent most of my life.

PHILOSOPHY

My main philosophy revolves around a few principles (although there are lots and I enjoy contemplating these things with others):
- Staying positive even in the face of turbulent times. The kind of energy you emit is the kind of energy you attract.
- Living a conscious and mindful life. Taking time to observe and listen.
- Giving 100% effort into things you are committed to.
- Having a great time when possible! :-)
