I'm a Software Engineer.

... what I see in software development now is mostly a handicraft, sometimes art, more often just a mess. I try to bring an order and logic into the process. I'm learning from the best designers and architects out there, choosing the best tools and making my own when tools are not available, using principles that make sense.

Nevertheless, the software development is still ages from a commodity industry it should eventually become.

I was born in Riga, Latvia, Soviet Union, in 1973. Later, in age of 9, I moved to Leningrad (now St.Petersburg). In 1996 I've got a bachelor degree in ITMO (microelectronics and CAD/CAM systems), and a year later went into software development industry.

In 2003 along with my wife and son Egor I moved to Toronto, Canada, where I still live today. My second son, Ivan, was born here in 2005.
