ABOUT ME

I just moved back to the US after several years in Russia, where I really got into CS. Russia was a great adventure every day and I miss it. But it's also good to be home. I love languages and travel and am always up for a new experience.

PHILOSOPHY

As if you could kill time without injuring eternity!
