MSP program for me

In order not to be unwarranted, I want to dea my story about how the MSP program has changed my life history.
This story began in 2012, when the then-not-so-famous Eugene Romin came to Maine as a couple. He told us more or less Windows 7, Microsoft Office, and nearly something other ... Then I was very aquiline that at to the lowest degree someone at the university told us nigh really modern and interesting things!

Later, in the summertime, I contacted Eugene and asked: "How to become an MSP?", To which I acceptable a same simple answer: "Vindicatory write me a letter and they will tangency you." And then it was.

In the fall of 2012, I became a student partner at Microsoft. Atomic number 3 part of the MSP team, I traveled to Perm universities, introduced students to Windows 8 and how pleasing IT was to develop applications for a new (at that fourth dimension) in operation system. Altogether the same autumn, but equally part of an all-Russian team up of student partners, I visited Student Day 3.0 and even took a picture show with Steve Ballmer .

A year future, my squad (C4L), like the team of Eugene ( Brainy Studio ), North Korean won the Imagine Cup regional finals . In 2014, our teams were the best in the Russian final in the Social Projects and Games categories, and Brainy Studio South Korean won the creation final in Seattle (USA) .

The status of a Microsoft mate student and winner of the Imagine Cup Russian finals ready-made it easy for me to find a decent job in peerless of the largest State companies.

And since 2016, I was elected president of the MSP political platform in Russia.
