CURRENT MISSION

See as much as possible. Feel as much as possible. Do something valuable.

ABOUT ME

First of, I love smiling :)
Second, I love learning new things.
Generally, I'm cheerful, easy-going guy who loves meeting new people, traveling around the world and telling stories to my friends when I'm back home.

I'm a software engineer, and I've seen it different: I worked for a small russian startup for 30$/month, interned couple of times in facebook (oh man, good times!), and now employed by google. So far, no regrets, and lots of stories!

Hobbies make a great part of my life. They change from year to year, which I believe is a good thing, as I'm getting to know more people and sometimes find new friends. Nowadays I'm studying spanish (a decision made after a Mexico trip) and doing rock climbing.
