I’m studying visual computing and computer graphics in the MEng EECS program. Originally from Perm, Russia, I came to the United States in 2005. After completing my undergraduate degree in computer science at Rice University in 2012, I moved to the Bay Area and worked at tech companies as a software engineer. Before joining the MEng program, I built web applications for NASA scientists and engineers. I enjoy collaborative and creative work of designing products that are both functional and beautiful.

My interests are in UX, human-computer interaction (HCI), and interface design. I’m excited to co-lead the HCI Affinity Group and learn more about it together.

In my free time, I love to read, paint, hike, and play video games.
