Work experience:

Since the beginning of secondary school, Mikhail dreamed of developing his own game. His journey into the world of programming began with the Scratch platform, but that was not enough to develop a game for mobile devices. Mikhail found a community that was working on a similar program for cell phones and decided to join it.

Over time, he wanted to get involved in the development and learned the Lua programming language and the Solar 2D framework. This enabled him to add a considerable amount of functionality to the program and create his own version of 2D Minecraft.

In addition to game development, Mikhail was also interested in creating Telegram bots. For this purpose, he learned the Python language and the Aiogram library on his own.

Mikhail believes that programming is all about learning, thinking and searching for answers to questions. In his classes, he helps children to become little explorers of the world, teaches them to find solutions and come up with unusual ideas. Mikhail believes that self- confidence, the ability to think and understand, and personal experience, which are needed for any job, are important for success in this profession.

Interests:

Mikhail is an open-minded and motivated person who is passionate about game design (gamedev). He leads a healthy lifestyle, often walks his dog and spends time with friends. In his free time, Mikhail likes to ride his bike around the city and experiment with circuits on the Arduino platform.

Together with his team, he manages his own small Minecraft server. His favorite music genres are rock and metal, he is apolitical, his favorite sciences are mathematics and philosophy.

"Programming can be compared to ordinary things in our lives: An algorithm is like a training plan, variables are recorded tasks and a function is like making tea at your mother's request. Writing a program is as easy as making a plan for the day! It's important to show children that programming is easy and fun!"
