Interests

I have a broad outlook beyond the IT sphere. I have experience in starting a small business and managing a small team (hookah bar, beauty salon). Remote work is a priority for me. I believe that a true specialist is not limited to activities in the workplace and constantly evolves and looks for opportunities for growth after hours.

I have been interested in cryptocurrencies for more than 9 years.

I have no bad habits. I know accounting. I like traveling.
