Hello guys!<br>
<br>
I'm <b>Lazar Nikolov,</b> 20 years old, from Macedonia. I'm a
student at Faculty of Computer Science and Engineering in Skopje,
Macedonia. Currently I'm pursuing the Bachelor Degree of Computer
Science and Engineering. My main focuses are Web Design and Mobile
App Development. I've worked on freelance projects and turned some
of my ideas into apps as well. 3 years of experience in the field of
Native Android Development and 2 years of experience in the field of
Website Design and Development. By that time I've learned the
following languages:<b> HTML, CSS, JavaScript, jQuery, Java, XML,</b>
and the following technologies and environments: <b>Android Studio,
Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, Bootstrap 3, WordPress,
PhoneGap and Cordova.</b> I've also won several programming
competitions. The last competition was a 36 hour Hackaton where my
friend and I developed an Android app where the students can easily
find companies who seek for interns (which is a solution to a common
problem in my country).<br>
<br>
I'm interested in these projects: <b>Tux English</b> (I have
experience with JavaScript game engines), and <b>Tux4kids Mobile</b>
(I have strong experience with PhoneGap, Cordova and Native Android
development). I'm also on a Mac, so iOS won't be a problem too.<br>
<br>
I haven't participated in the GSOC before, this is my first time,
and I'm willing to spend the whole summer on this project! What I
like about this project is that it's from the educational spirit. I
think that smartphones and other smart devices are, may I say, even
better gadgets that can be used for education! I strongly believe
that the future of education is going to be mLearning and eLearning.
Today, in the era of computers and technology, even little kids have
their own smart gadget that are using to play games. I believe that
the games that we're going to make together are going to be very fun
and very educational for the children. Great education is the most
important things in this world!<br>

Thank you for the opportunity to work for you and I hope we're going
to hang out for the summer!<br>

Wishing you all the best,<br>
