Profile

From the very beginning, Information Technologies have always been more than a hobby or a tool for me. My daily job is not only a "9 to 5 occupation", it is the place where I can live and thoroughly enjoy my passion.
Through 25 years of working experience as software developer, I have never stopped learning and improving my knowledge and technical skills. Although not being an expert in a particular domain, technology or language, I believe I can become close to being one when/where required.
