My work

I work at a small Internet software company, on communication security software. Maybe you even have heard of some of our products, such as Netscape Communicator.

My education

I went to graduate school to the College of Engineering, Department of Computer Science at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.

I graduated from Boston University with a BS in Computer Science and a minor concentration in economics.

I also studied at the Gorky University in Russia (former USSR) and at Salem State College in Salem, MA.

Even though I have always been (and am) interested in computer programming as a career, my major at Gorky University was Applied Mathematics, and I studied Business Administration at Salem State College.

My life


I am originally from Russia. My parents and I were born in Gorky, a large city in central Russia. However, my father's family comes from south Belorussia, and my mom's parents moved to Gorky from city of Orel.
Unfortunately, I haven't been to Orel or to the south Belorussia.
I did travel around European part of former Soviet Union a little, before my family and I moved to United States.
My family lives in a small town on the Atlantic coast in Massachusetts. My younger sister goes to Northeastern University in Boston. (She is the one person who knows all about what I want for my birthday.)
I lived in Boston before I moved to central Illinois, city of Champaign.

I like to travel. I have visited most of the North East, traveled a bit around the Midwest, and have been to the West Coast. I loved Toronto, even though it is very cold. I'd like to go to Europe one of these days.
