I was born, as the eldest of five, in Saint-Petersburg, a beautiful Russian city in the North-West. In 2002, I have graduated from Saint-Petersburg State University, Mathematical-Mechanical faculty with "Specialist" Diploma (an equivalent of Master degree) in Computer Science. In years 2001-2003, I was on internship at School of Computing, National University of Singapore, which I eventually joined as PhD candidate in July 2003. In 2007, I spent 6 months as intern at FX Palo Alto Laboratory (FXPAL). Currently, I'm writing my thesis and planning to graduate in September 2009. I am a member of NeMeSys research group, participating in projects DAVIS and Plasma. I work under the supervision of Dr. Ooi Wei Tsang.
In my free time, I am also exploring cloud computing and web apps. I am helping in the development of Pivot startup project (Django with Python, Google App Engine, Amazon EC2).
