This is my resume. More about my work under portfolio. Reason of this resume is not only to show you who am I where I came from, but also what I can do and how different ways to show it I can use. Also this web page is done from scratch by myself, and as is can be used for presentation.
I was always thinking about architecture as science and art, not only job. My friend engineers many times were telling me this is impossible. I was always repeating by some famous architect
"Everything is possible - experiments in architecture make engineering going forward"
I always wanted to be that kind of architect.
