About me

My name is Nikita Doronin. I started programming in my early teens and since then I've been building different tools, backend services and other practical applications. I'm currently a Computer Science student at the Moscow Polytechnical University, specializing in system programming - which is my favorite area of IT.

Over the past 3+ years I studied and took a variety of courses on programming languages, technologies, and areas of the IT field. In the recent years I have also participated in national olympiads and IT competitions, and various conferences where I presented different projects. I am primarily interested in low-level programming, including the development of drivers, operating systems, and embedded systems. Additionally, I have a strong interest in backend and desktop application development. I write code to solve real problems and learn new concepts. Currently, my main languages are Java, Rust and C++.

I'm most proficient in Java: having completed numerous online courses and worked on several personal projects using this language. I have hands-on experience with the Spring Boot framework and its ecosystem. I am comfortable working with build tools such as Gradle and Maven. In addition, I have knowledge of working with SQL (PostgreSQL), as well as REST APIs and the HTTP(s) protocol.

Rust is another language I use extensively, with most of my recent projects developed in it. I have studied Rust both through online courses and the official documentation. I'm familiar with most of the language's features, including multihreading and asynchronous programming.

I also work with C++, mainly driven by my interest in low-level development. While my experience in C++ is slightly less extensive than in Java and Rust, I have worked with the Windows API, GCC, and MSVC compilers. I have good experience of writing Makefiles and handling the compilation and linking process. Because of my interest in low-level systems, I have a goal of becoming an advanced C++ developer and further improving my skills in this direction.
