About me

Born in USSR and moved to Switzerland shortly before fall of the Soviet state. I am currently located near Zurich, Switzerland.

I became committed to Information Technology at the very early age. My family supported my fascination and I was lucky to have my own computer in late 80es, which was not very common in USSR. More then 25 years later I am still fascinated by everything digital.

Today I believe that 3D Printing is one of the key technologies which will affect humanity and the way we live, it will not happen as fast as 'Internet explosion' but eventually almost everything we need will be produced this way.

What I do

Presently I work as independent consultant assisting several customers in implementation of software projects as well as maintaining mission critical IT Infrastructure. I also provide VIP Support services for private customers who value efficiency, reliability and absolute discretion.

In the little spare time I work in my small workshop inventing and manufacturing gadgets.
