Hey there! I'm a software engineer from Ukraine who's fond of cinema, music, traveling, bicycling, snowboarding, and hanging out with cool people.

I grew up in Chernihiv, located in the north of Ukraine, but I have lived in Kyiv for 7 years and am familiar with it quite well. My parents moved to Lviv, another awesome UA city, 6 years ago, so I can share advice on that place as well.

I've been doing web dev since 2015 and working as an independent contractor for Google's Waze for the past 3 years. Most of the day I stay in my bedroom which is also my office and living room. I'm free at weekends and evenings, and really rarely, I could go out to work somewhere else.

What else am I interested in? Neurobiology, cognitive science, AI, and basically everything related to the human brain and how neurons operate. I have a cool bicycle, an e-scooter, I enjoy running, swimming, and reading books, though I do all of that not as often as I'd love to.

I will be most happy to meet new people in Kyiv or anywhere abroad :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
