My name is Andrei. I specialize in one thing: VisualBasic .NET . As seen here on this page, I am doing this since 2005 when i joined Freelancer.com , it is not a part time thing for me like for other coders. I have an IQ of 135, top 1% of the worlds population. I learned programming by my own when I was 8 years old using books , without a teacher. When I was 18 years I didn’t even finish high school and I was already working as a freelancer for people from Silicon Valley. Now I am 36 and I made a living out of it since then. 3 years ago I even programmed a 15.000$ robot named Pepper, here is a video with him.

I did projects that involved OCR (optical character recognition), image detection, video object tracking, encryption, image modification, SQL, license function, software autoupdate, detecting age and gender of people from video, web scraping, automatic web navigation, product inventory, voice to text transcription, remote desktop controlling like teamviewer, Combining and sorting PDF files, appending to word documents, visual basic scripts, etc.
