Welcome
Hello there and welcome to my personal site. Recently I have being coding more and
more projects in my free time, and the purpose of this site is to
make them available for all to see. Enjoy, and feel free to drop me a note
if you are interested in collaborating!

(back to top)Biography
I was born in Moscow, Russia and moved to the US in 1999. I hold a B.A. in Mathematics and Economics and a minor in Business Institutions from Northwestern University. I currently live in Chicago, IL. My day job is in consulting, and I try to make time for coding projects every once in awhile. My other interests include guitar, traveling, and the outdoors.
(back to top)A few of my favorite things...
Singer - Galina Homchik (Галина Хомчик) closely followed by Daughtry.
Author - Alexandre Dumas. I have read The Three Musketeers more than 10 times, and The Count of Monte Cristo was the latest book which caused me to fall off the face of the earth for a few days.
Sport - football. The one where feet are allowed to touch the ball (although NFL is interesting too).
