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], not [veʤ]. The second and third sounds have to be pronounced like in the word “beg”, and definitely not like in the word “vegetable”. My nickname has nothing in common with vegetarianism, and I'm not a vegetarian (as some people asked me about it). Sometimes I can't use “VEG” as a username on some websites because this nickname is too short and it is often not allowed to use. In such cases I use “vrubleg” as my username.

English

English isn't my native language, so sorry for dumb mistakes. I hope that it is at least a little bit better than Google Translate =)
