User:Shurik the Creator

My name is Shurik the Creator.

My country of origin is Moldova.

In terms of education, I have MSc in Environmental and Natural Resource Economics from the University of Copenhagen.

Talking about skills, I am most skillful in nature conservation, research and analysis, project management, leadership and team management, training and facilitation, artistic writing, drawing and painting, hardware programming and robotics.

My interests include:
 * Natural science (Astronomy, Biology, Bionics, Genetic Engineering, Ecology, Environmental Management, Philosophy, Psychology, etc.): I read books and articles about space, black holes, other planets, and nature on our home planet Earth, as well as write about these topics on my blog “Masterpieces of the Nature”.
 * Literature (reading, poetry, and novel writing): I enjoy reading poems and science fiction novels, as well as write them. I have already written more than 150 poems, 3 short stories, and 1 large novel. I published 2 books in 3 languages and created the personal literary blog “The Thoughts”.
 * Visual arts (drawing and painting): I like to admire paintings depicting nature in its beauty. I also like to draw and paint natural landscapes, plants, animals, and space. Some of my paintings I leave at home, while others present as gifts to my friends.
 * Robotics: I am constantly experimenting with modern technology and robotics with the desire to construct robots that can bring value to research and protection of the natural environment and sustainable development. Nowadays I work with LEGO Mindstorms, Arduino, and Raspberry Pi.
 * Desktop prototyping and 3D printing: I like to create and produce my own artistic and useful designs that I can then use for my robotic projects, as well as give as gifts to my friends. In such way I try to reduce my consumption and generation of unnecessary waste.
 * Travelling and exploration of the world: I constantly travel to other countries and explore their nature, architecture, culture, and traditions. So far I have visited 5 continents and more than 30 countries. I have written about some of my travels and adventures on the blog “The X Worlds 3D”.
 * Sport (jogging / running and cycling): I enjoy combining experience of being in the nature with sports activities. Specifically I like running or cycling in parks and forests. I also like playing chess and similar strategic board games.
