    At first, doing my Bachelor’s at ITMO felt like a challenge but then it turned into an exciting adventure. Hailing from abroad, I was eager to come to St. Petersburg and education seemed a perfect reason to move here. I chose ITMO over other universities in the city not only because of its stand-out advertising campaign but also because of the Intelligent Systems in Humanities program that I found interesting. The first two years of studies were quite hard because there was more programming and math than humanities classes. It was when my major subjects started when I began to truly appreciate my program. Data analysis, machine learning, and web development made me want to work in one of these areas. At first, I tried my hand at freelancing, then joined one of the faculty's research groups and took part in the development of one of the university’s services. Now, I am getting a Master’s degree in mobile and cloud technologies and continuing to develop web services for ITMO as a staff member at the Faculty of Infocommunication Technologies.
