Hello Steem. My name is Aleksei. I am from Minsk (Belarus).

I just want to share a couple of words about myself in order to follow great #introducemyself tradition on Steemit)

This is me.

Brief introduction

I am 24 years old now. 

I was born in Minsk and live here now. Minsk city is a capital of the Republic of Belarus and I believe this is a good city. 

I studied international law in university and graduated from it in 2014. 

Now I am a lawyer in a law office in Minsk. I mostly deal with commercial law, in particular IT sector. In general, many famous IT products was developed in Belarus. For example, such things as Viber, World of Tanks and MSQRD are originated from Belarus (who would have thought, right?).

My way to Steem

I knew about Steem a month ago. I was on FinTech Hakaton in Minsk this June. There were guys from CyberFund who talked about Blockchain technology, including Steem. I was really excited by the presentation and decided to know more about blockchain and Steem. So here I am)

Steem inspired me to start blogging. I was never active in Social networks before, just chat with friends and almost no public posts. Now I am blogging on Steem and this is cool!

My interests

While I was writing this post I understood that I have many interests.

For example, music is one of my interests. I am playing guitar and make tracks on my laptop. During 7 years of music creation I tried different styles starting with punk rock and ending dubstep. My tracks are not professional ones but I love them. Hope, I share them someday (when Steemit implements music player).

Technology is my another hobby. I like reading about technologies and learn new technology trends. Today I actively read about blockchain and I think it will change the world within next 5-10 years.

I also started to learn Java coding about a month ago. I just in the beginning of my path. But I am looking forward to the day when I will be able to make my first real program.

Law is my interest as well. Mostly, because I am a lawyer and should know it well. In particular, I am interested in IT law and now I also make short research on how blockchain and cryptocurrencies can change existing legal system.

Finally, from time to time I also cook. I cannot say it is my huge hobby. But I have some favourite dishes, for example burger.
