About
I’m a 27 year old internet enthusiast and entrepreneur who is best known for founding FlucMedia.com with my good friends Roman Borysov & Vadim Lyubchenko. I’ve been living in Melbourne, Australia my entire life and have studied all sorts of different disciplines from Chemical Engineering and Microbiology, to Mathematics, to Commerce & Business and now more recently Intellectual Property Law.
While I’m no software engineer by trade, I find technology and its application to human life fascinating. I’m keen to enrol in a Postgraduate Computer Science course at some point in the future because of my new found love for C# and the power of Web Services that Microsoft Technologies can so easily provide. (sidenote: I own both a PC and a Mac – so no fanboy comments). I have an active interest in Design & User Interface work and at FlucMedia.com I handle all things from Management, User Interface & Experience, Design, CSS2/CSS3, HTML4, JavaScript to setting up GIT with Msysgit and Debugging.
I began exploring the internet in 1998 and self-taught HTML/CSS and basic Javascript at the beginning of 2004. While some may argue this was long after the dot-com boom, it was the same year that Google launched its IPO – so I consider it an omen. When I finished high school, I had my heart set on a Chemical Engineering and Virology career, but I just couldn’t get myself enthralled in it enough to do it for my entire life. I changed to Business Law & Finance, and from this discovered that I actually enjoyed studying law and its relation to technology. I created a few sites in my spare time and they taught me a lot about search engine optimization, coding and database management when I first created them – so they were a fantastic start to my internet journey.
At this point in my life, I still believed that Finance was the way to go so I completed numerous Graduate Study Programs around Technical Analysis and Investment Finance – even starting the CFA program before finally deciding that I was sick of Finance at the ripe old age of 23. I then enrolled in a Masters of Business Law, and also enrolled into a Juris Doctor. I’ve now completed the Masters (summa cum laude) and just have the Juris Doctor left. I think (I hope) this is my final change! Stuff I’ve done [to nerd it up] includes:
- Bachelor of Commernce (Double Major Business Law/Finance)
- Diploma of Financial Services (Stockbroking)
- Diploma of Technical Analysis (ATAA)
- Certified Financial Technician (IFTA)
- Graduate Diploma of Applied Finance and Investment (SIA)
- Masters of Business Law (MBL)
- Qualified Trademark Attorney (Aus)
- Juris Doctor (Master of Laws)
To chill out I genuinely enjoy beach life (although I don’t see anywhere near as much as I would like too) and as a facet of this I like to surf – predominately long boards. I also enjoy a martial art called Wing Chun which I have been doing on and off for the last 9 years. Hopefully this year I will finally get around to getting my black belt. Other interests include technology, design, UI, law, telecommunications, media, counter strike, and of course – the Internet. Feel free to check out Fluc Media.
