About Me

In general I am coming from Belarus, from the small and old town Pinsk. I grew up there but then I shifted to capital - Minsk to get my bachelor and start the career. Btw Minsk is amazing city, I miss it and some times think about to return once back. At the moment I am deep in life sciences, writing my thesis in field of immunology to get a doctoral degree and find my place in the world. Hannover is my temporal residence. I will stay here for half a year more. Or little bit longer. I work a lot with data and therefore interested in everything what is related to data analysis, optimization, IT sphere. Education as well. Some how I feel the joy in explaining things. May I would be once a good teacher? Maybe not good okay, but happy for sure :)
