A little bit of my story

    I was born and raised in Russia and initially wanted to dedicate myself to the exciting world of psychology and linguistics. However, computers, coding, and hacking always fascinated me. I learned a lot on my own before making it official and obtaining a degree in Computer Science.


My professional career spans three different countries and involves working with industry giants like Google. Over time, I developed extensive knowledge in multiple areas including technology, cybersecurity, risk management, and industry evangelism. This diverse experience has allowed me to blend my interests in psychology and technology to make meaningful contributions in the field
