Software Engineer / Full Stack Developer

Highly motivated and enthusiastic college student with more than nine years of programming background looking for internship opportunities related to computer science and IT

About me

My name is Vlad, and I am a -year-old University of Central Florida student studying Computer Science. Besides studying CS academically, I want to test my skills and get real-world experience working in that industry. My programming journey began long ago: when I was about 11 years old. I discovered how to make websites using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Since then, I've learned many other programming languages, such as, Python, C, C++, PHP, Java, and C#. Recently I've been focusing on competetive programming and solving coding problems in C++, applying my knowledge in Data Structures and Algorithms. Also, I try to develop in different directions as well: I've worked on various projects that you can find on my github or projects page
