Personality

Since childhood, I've been told that I have a constant thirst for knowledge, the ability to learn quickly in areas that interest me, and hate routine affairs. Usually, I immediately get everybody's attention and recognition, make friends quickly, and as far as I know no one thinks I'm a jerk. According to the "16 personalities" test, I am "debater", which I think is a good description of my character.

don't like anything that is obvious, no matter what it is ― movie, song or even a joke. Everything should trigger mental activity. Therefore, I love to solve tasks and for me, the best gift is a puzzle or a book. For over 9 years, my first and only love, who eventually became my wife, is the biggest inspiration of my life.

I respect people who believe that knowledge is not personal property  and who want to share it with others, and in that reason, I'm writing articles to MediumDOU, and in addition help with documentation for several projects, like a Node.js, Gatsby.js and SemVer.

Ambitions

I wasn't even 14 when I dreamt of becoming an archaeologist  to answer the questions of the evolution of species, an inventor of spacecraft to expand the boundaries of accessible space, and a chemist, to solve the environmental problems of our planet. I always wanted to change this world for the better, and that's why I'm now engaged in programming to create things that, even if they (still) don't save lives, at least improve them.

I believe that masterpieces are created from pure enthusiasm, and not for money, therefore I am open source evangelist and an open-minded adventurer.

FAQ

What type of cooperation would I prefer?

Direct cooperation with product company, without outsource/outstaff agencies.

What industry would I like to work in?

Innovations, Healthcare, Music / Sound Engineering or something interesting.

Remote vs Office

When I started in IT my main goal was to be able to travel, and now, after 4 years working in office, I am looking for a completely remote position.

Frontend vs Backend?

I'm ready to work with both, but... if I have a choice it's a frontend.

React vs Angular vs Vue?

I remember a lot of discussions about this, but for the last 4 years, I prefer to React, in the reason of requirements for projects.
