COMPUTER SCIENCE
It would be difficult for me to recollect, when and how exactly my passion for digital universe established. I was a school boy, around 14 years old, learning DOS commands and Norton Commander, being excited every time I entered the Informatics class and felt computer smell in the air. I finished Informatics class and passed the final exam with excellence, by choice, as it wasn't required of me in order to graduate from high school and to be awarded a Graduate Gold Medal of Excellence. A year before graduation I started learning Pascal. I was known for my computer skills within my immediate social environment. At the time I was assembling desktop systems, installing and setting up software and hardware, resolving big diversity of technical issues.
Somewhere around the year of 2000 I committed myself to studying C++ and Visual C++. Apart from coding exercises I assisted in development of a bookkeeping application. In my spare time I was developing an RPG game.
In September 2005 I entered Goethe University in Frankfurt. I've been studying Computer Science for 7 years and gained Master's Degree in 2012. The studying process incorporated an immense diversity of projects. I have applied my past experience and gained colossal amount of new knowledge and skills:
