About me
I was born in the small town of Kirov, and at the age of 16 won the intellectual competition allowing me to enter any university without the exams and decided to study in SPbU. During all my studies, I worked as an event manager, ending up as a Project Manager at Saudi Aramco, where I explored the Tech world and was quite carried away with it. At that moment I was finishing my Master's in Management and joined a Tech company in France. In 2022 I left Russia and lived in Georgia, France and all around the world

Outside of work, I climb high mountains, snowboard, do yoga and hiking

Also, I'm a passionate musician and draw aquarelle pictures while traveling all around the world
