My history:
My passion for software development started in 2002, from coding in school (physics & math lyceum) small game projects, 3d graphics in Turbo Pascal 7.0), continued in trainings for Olympiad programming in "ITMO University" (tutor Stankevich) and now continues to develop while doing industrial products for science companies.

Background
I graduated from the Saint-Petersburg Polytechnic University in 2014 (computer science).

I developed software for navigation devices(air, marine, shore-based) for civil and military companies.

About SO
I registered at the Stackoverflow, because it is the good source of knowledge for me, where you can ask question end get a professional answer on it.
Also it allows to test your comprehension of art of programming by answering questions and getting responses from participants.

So I am very glad that I have found such a good community in which there are a lot of people who love computer science and enjoy their work.
