My name is Nik (short for Nikolay), I am passionate about creating stuff, and hoping to change the world one day.

I was born and raised in Russia, and at High school I enjoyed science, art and coding. Studying Marketing, I started as a designer, exploring my talents in ads, 3d, and the world wide web.

While working on various product design, web and application development projects in New York City, I always wanted to see a bigger picture. So challenged myself to become a professional developer.

I have moved to Colorado in 2014. I enjoy the combination of outdoors culture, science, education and the tech community over here. I am currently finishing my Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science at Colorado State University (Go RAMs!) and will graduate in May of 2018.

While at school, beyond the assignments, I worked in the University's 3D Printing Lab in an IT role, where I was in charge of building a new lab portal on the website with user registration forms, training scheduling calendar, 3D printer reservation and other interactive pages.

In Summer 2017, I took Software Developer Internship position at one nationwide engineering company. I was working in a team on developing, debugging and fine-tuning the GIS web application helping engineers build a better pipeline network.

Today, I am looking for Software Engineer or Developer opportunities where my background in user-oriented approach may also be applied.
