Video games fan since my intel 20286 PC (with first attempt to make a game with MS Basic).
Won computer science school competition at the age of 16.
At the age of 17 I have entered university in my home town, but at the age of 19 I moved to Saint-Petersburg, Russia.
After making things that I don't like I decided to get back to Software Development in 2010.
My first successful app was MUZA for iPad and iPhone. Critically acclaimed by reviewers app has some unique features, such as unusual "Harmony" tool.
Later I've released free app "Mode Machines Midi Keyboard". It was made to bring more attention to Muza and to German musical instruments manufacturer "Mode Machines".
I've made a lot of prototypes with Cocos2d than switched to Unity3d game engine.
Worked with US/Ukraine based company Digitilus on a Skyjacker Game and Starship Constructor.
Currently working on games Motorgun and Tap-A-Tank.
Beside game development I'm a leader of small group of "creative people of Betterburg". Which consist of photographers, musicians, web designers. Running youtube channel "Betterburg" and have released 2 music albums by "Prospekt Prosvetleniya" and "Rustea Val".
Finalist of winter GamesJam Competition in Russia.
I think that games are a modern form of art and I want to work on bigger projects with teams that share my vision.
