My name is Stanislav. I was born physically in 1982 (please read my salvation testimony) in a country that does not exist anymore. I was born in a city that became a meme in ex-USSR and a go to answer to the question, “Where?”
When I was 10 years old my parents bought me my first computer a Commodore 64 a very useless piece of hardware outside of the United States and Western Europe. But I spent a lot of type behind that “light-brown” keyboard writing my first lines of code:
10 PRINT "HELLO WORLD"
20 GO TO 10
Since then I fell in love with technology and computers in general. There was something magical about telling a computer what to do and figuring out why didn’t it do what it was supposed to do or what you thought it was supposed to do.
In 1994, when I was 14 years old, my family moved from Kazakhstan to Russia, and we settled in a small town on the Black Sea coast which became the capital of the 2014 Winter Olympic Games.
As long as I live, I always wanted to live in the United States of America. I don’t know why. I had never been to the States, didn’t speak English at all, and everything I knew about the States was from the movies. (I know) And in 2013, when I was 30 years old, God gave me this opportunity, and my dream became true. On May 31, 2013, an immigration officer said the phrase I had been waiting for, “Welcome to the United States of America.”
Prior moving to the States I worked as a product manager for one of the bigger cellular carrier in Russia. It was a nice and very interesting field but I always wanted to work in IT, work with computers and try that “itching” What if question on practice.
I became a Quality Assurance Engineer. In my carrier as a Quality Assurance Engineer I have worked for very small startups in Silicon Valley as well as for the Fortune 500 corporations testing everything from the Network to mobile applications.
In addition to High Tech I am fan of ice-hockey and adventure motorcycles.
