I'm a beginner Web Developer based in Los Angeles, CA

Originally from Saint Petersburg, Russia. I'm old enough to have been born in the USSR, young enough to not remember much of it.

I love solving problems and creating new things. Hopefully not the other way around

I come from a background of biology and chemistry. My previous occupation was a flavor chemist in the food and beverage industry. If you were one of those kids who wanted to be a professional ice cream taster, that was almost exactly my job except with beverages and occasionally baked goods. Sometimes ice cream too. Sometime alcohol. Did I enjoy every single day of it? Not really.

I am currently enrolled in the MIT xPro Bootcamp "Professional Certificate in Coding: Full Stack Development with MERN". As the name suggests, by the end of the course I should be proficient with MongoDB, Express, React and Node.js
