His passion for games development started at the age of 10, when he got his first PC. After few days, he asked: "Playing is fun, but how do I make my own game?" With that thought in mind and after never-ending programming experiments, he graduated from the cybernetics department of Kiev National University already being a part-time J2ME game developer. For the past three years, he has worked as an independent consultant, with his main area of expertise being rich web applications for both desktop and mobile platforms.
