I was born and raised in Donesk, Ukraine during the twilight of the Soviet Union. I have devoted myself to learning web development skills and has most recently graduated from Lambda School's fourth Computer Science cohort. I am now a contributing member of a San Francisko-based start-up. Aside from coding, I especially enjoy crime-noir films, chess, and cooking. I believe in balancing self-discipline with a perceptive sense of humor and of fairness.
