I believe in making world better by building simple, powerful and robust software. My interests include algorithms, communications, distributed and server software with strong emphasis on elegance and performance. I started programming when I was 10 years old on ZX Spectrum 48k with Basic and Z80 assembly language. That computer delivered less performance than your microwave clock now does, yet it was so much fun. Nowadays I enjoy using C++ and Python. I am also very enthusiastic about open source, Linux and free (as in free speech) software. For living I build electronic trading systems.
