Experience

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.

I  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  13 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  Medium ,  DOU , 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.
