About Me

I am a lifelong learner and a driven software developer.

I currently live in Madison, Wisconsin, where I previously worked as a full-stack engineer at Epic Systems. Before my time at Epic, I graduated from the Georgia Institute of Technology in 2021 with a BS in Computer Science. I am now excited to explore new opportunities where I can continue to grow and make a difference.

I have a deep love of traveling and discovering other cultures! Since originally emigrating from Russia to Georgia (the state!) at the age of 7, I've had the wonderful opportunity to visit a handful of other countries and states. Most notably, I've been lucky enough to see the breathtaking views in Utah, explore some of the temples and shrines in Japan, and participate in a summer study abroad program in China.

In my free time, I like to read, play any and all games (I've done every daily Sudoku since 2019!), and tinker with electronics.
