Interesting about me
  • How it all began
    In 2009 I had a six months IT internship in Jordan, where my company Sloboda Studio comes from. It was there that I learned basic Ruby on Rails technology and started getting my first orders. Based on this, I have certain sympathies for the Arabs. In my opinion, their mentality is very similar to the Ukrainians. I also have a good attitude towards Muslim culture, and of course, I do not accept terrorism in any form.
  • Favorite city
    My favorite city is Berlin. This is a very peculiar city that is very different from other European capitals. For most, he may seem poor, variegated, and at the same time insanely tolerant. There is a deep history in it. I also generally like German and European culture.
  • I love learning languages
    I learned English quite late, at about 24 years old, but I speak and write it quite fluently. For the first year and a half I spoke with my daughter only in English. She even remembers something else in this language. I'm currently delving into German, I passed my B2 in Berlin. And now I am preparing for C1 with a teacher. I also studied Chinese and Arabic for half a year, but did not advance further.
  • Love sports
    Now I do yoga, I do jogging professionally with a trainer and individually - rock climbing. There is also mountaineering in my sports life, but to fairly simple peaks, up to the 3rd category. From ascents to famous peaks - Kazbek, the highest point in Georgia; Mont Blanc - the top of the European Union; Damavand is the highest peak in Iran, and of course, Hoverla.
  • Visited 40+ countries
    Most of them were travel for work or volunteer projects, not tourism.
    I took my parents and several other relatives on independent trips three times.
  • Obod party
    Once I gathered all paternal relatives and organized an Obod-party for 30 people. The whole family played paintball, looked at the family tree and old photographs. I try to financially and morally support my relatives.
  • Volunteer background
    Previously, he actively participated in volunteer and social projects - working with schoolchildren with the course "School without Aggression", EURO 2012, exchange internships at AIESEC - in Ukraine, Germany, Spain, Jordan and China.
