I was born in a small town in Belarus.
In 2010 relocated to Russia, Saint-Peterspurg for studying. I entered NRU ITMO on a budget basis, but was disappointed with the quality of training and left to work.
For the next 10 years, I learned the art of communication, selling everything from headphones to apartments. Went for military service in the armed forces. Worked as a sales trainer, managed sales offices, and worked as a portable electronics repairman.
And one day I asked myself the question “What’s next?”
Before going to study with professionals, I decided to take a kind of entrance test.
My friend needed a parser and I suggested writing one. The parser was not the easiest for a beginner; almost everything had to be figured out from scratch.
I didn’t know anything about databases, stored everything in .txt, didn’t know that it’s not good to store tokens in public space, didn’t even know that it would be nice to have a list of dependencies.
However, I wrote the parser and spent about a couple of weeks (my first try). It was interesting, but not enough. So I took on a large telegram bot.
