Tell us a little bit about your childhood and where you grew up.

I was born in Kharkov. When I was 7 years old I moved to Dimitrovgrad. In the summer, until the age of 10, I went to my grandmother in a village near Kharkov. A wonderful childhood among animals, forests and fields.

As a child, I went to swimming training, went skiing and then studied karate.

As a teenager, I was fond of electronics, dismantled electronic toys, and tape recorders 🙂

How did you get into programming?

I was drawn to programming. It’s like a magnet or an obsession. Plus the corresponding education Informatics-economist.
I got a job in a consulting company in 2006 in Moscow. Then I improved my knowledge through experience.
In 2011 I returned to Dimitrovgrad and started working remotely with ADempiere, then with iDempiere.
