Hi there! My name is Evgeny and I'm a programmer. I like old games, skating, and pelmeni.

I was born in 1987, in a small Belarusian city called Slutsk. My childhood dreams were related to computers, inspired by The Hackers movie. The dreams came true in 2000 when my parents bought me a new PC with Pentium III. I still remember that day, I was the happiest child in the world for sure =) Almost from the beginning I became curious how games are made and how I could modify them. Next year I started to create programs in Delphi, and in C++ a little bit later. It was clear to me that it is the thing that I had dreamed of.

In 2005, I moved to Minsk and entered the Belarusian State University of Informatics and Radioelectronics. A bit later, I discovered passion for low level programming and x86 assembly language. Once in a few years I work on such projects days and nights forgetting about everything else for a few months, and then I return to normal life again =)

In 2019, I moved to Finland. At this moment, I work for Epic Games. It's the best job I've ever had.

Nickname

My nickname is VEG, and I like when people use it in informal conversations. It's an acronym of my family name, given name and patronymic. The right pronunciation is [veg] (like ”vegas” without ”as”), not [veʤ] (don't make me a ”vegetable”).
