Hi! My name is Leonid (Leo) Sergeyevich Cherevko. I was born and raised in the Russian countryside, then left for the United States in search of better education, a better career, and—well—a better life. Without the means to afford a host family or boarding school, I began living alone at the age of 13.Now, a second-year student at the University of Florida, I am pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science with minors in Business Administration and Statistics. Outside of class, I am grateful to serve as the:• Solutions Architect for the Finance Professional Development Program.• Director of Operations and Programming for the Undergraduate Consulting Club.• IT Governance and Support Assistant for the College of Education.These academic and extracurricular experiences are dedicated to honing my skills as a data-driven creative problem-solver. Upon graduation, I aim to apply this expertise in an impact-driven role, ideally at the intersection of Business Advisory and Technology.Now, onto the important things. I am an avid reader and traveler, finding peace with a Spanish guitar in my lap or a pair of hiking boots on my feet. Inspired by my love for mountains, I consider Bavaria (Germany) my second home. When I’m not exploring, you’ll find me in the kitchen perfecting seared salmon or experimenting with zucchini lasagna. My ideal day begins in the weight room and ends at an EDM festival. Oh, and of course, my spirit animal is the mantis shrimp.Personal Philosophy: "Nothing on this earth is standing still. It's either growing or it's dying. No matter if it's a tree or a human being." - Lou HoltzProfessional Philosophy: "Adaptability is not imitation. It means power of resistance and assimilation." - Mahatma GandhiWhether it is working on a project that reshapes industries or engaging in a simple exchange of ideas, I am fully committed to creating meaningful change together!Feel free to contact me at l.cherevko@ufl.edu.
