Bio: 

I'm from Ukraine - #standwithukraine
Do not trust propaganda - Russia invaded Ukraine and the Russian army is killing our, Ukrainian citizens.
I had to relocate my family(3months baby girl, 4.5yo twins, and a wife) from the place where I lived in my house to the west of Ukraine.

Personal beliefs
I want to be remembered as a man who was determined to overcome the circumstances and to exercise perseverance.

To mentor people mentoring myself back from them. I believe people and good ideas are way more important than any mercantile interest.

I'm interested in helping people grow to achieve common goals.

I honestly believe technology makes no sense if it is not connected to human needs

Investment in self-education shows better benefits than anything else in my life.

Community of individuals is a preferable way of making business.

Professional summary
IT geek, excited about how automation can make human lives better and interesting.
Certified psychotherapist, provocative and controversial but warm and devoted
