He studied at the Rivne University of Water and Environmental Management, Faculty of Management. But the real education came after hundreds of hours of playing S.T.A.L.K.E.R., The Witcher, and Need for Speed. I went from a simple gamer to a person who can’t look at a PC without thinking «what’s inside?»

I have been involved in IT at every stage of my career, writing texts, collecting and helping others to collect hardware, and convincing people that the best Windows is the one that hasn’t received a single update yet.

I’m fond of retro tech, old computer magazines, and game design from the past. I love retro gaming because back then, you didn’t need a three-hour tutorial to start playing.

I believe that computer clubs are part of UNESCO’s cultural heritage, and DirectX 9.0c is what once held the balance in the universe.
