Learn more about meAbout Me
My name is Alexey Petrov, I'm 28 years old, and I live in the beautiful city of St. Petersburg. I was born in a small town in northern Russia, where I spent my childhood playing in the snow and sledding. Since childhood, I've been a very curious child and always asked my parents many questions.
In school, I studied well, especially enjoying mathematics and physics. Teachers said I had an analytical mind. I participated in various Olympiads and even took third place in the city mathematics Olympiad in 10th grade. It was a very exciting time!
After school, I entered university to study information technology. Studies came easily to me, and I enjoyed learning programming, databases, and computer networks. In my free time, I worked part-time at a local IT company, where I gained my first practical experience with code.
Now I work as a web developer at a large company and I love my profession. Every day brings new challenges and opportunities for growth. I constantly study new technologies and try to stay current with the latest trends in the IT world.
Besides work, I have many hobbies. I'm passionate about photography, especially love shooting landscapes and architecture. I have a DSLR camera and often go out into nature to capture beautiful moments. I also love reading books, especially science fiction and popular science literature.
In my free time, I do sports - I go to the gym and play football with friends on weekends. Sports help me stay in shape and relieve stress after the work week. I'm also learning to play guitar, though I'm not very good yet, but I don't give up!
