<h2>In Short</h2>
<p class="intro">
Making one's vision of a web application come alive is never easy. It requires a lot of <em>balanced thinking</em>. Fresh versus time-tested, <abbr title="Don't Repeat Yourself">DRY</abbr> versus flexible, reasonably optimized versus prematurely optimized. Designing an app is as much a scientific as it is a creative process, requiring a "feel" for it.</p>
<p class="intro">
I have <em>worked on numerous projects</em>, some of which are working autonomously for years, while others I constantly maintain. Some examples are <a href="http://unpublik.com">Unpublik</a>, <a href="http://printio.ru">Printio</a>, <a href="http://scripteka.com">Scripteka</a>, and <a href="http://wehike.net">WeHike</a>. I should note that these are my own non-profit as well as commercial endeavors, not my contracting work. The only thing I find more fun than programming is <em>programming with a higher purpose</em>.
</p>
<p class="intro">
I <em>strive for fun and enjoyable partnership</em>. Albeit the effort is subjective, there are two things I know that help establish this kind of relationship. Firstly, it's <em>delivering expected results</em>. Secondly, it's finding <em>pleasure in teaching and learning</em>. I try to make time to <a href="http://mediumexposure.com">blog</a> about things I do. This way I get my ideas criticized and condemned, or praised and adapted. Feedback is the main ingredient in balanced thinking as it provides a much needed reality check.

<h2>Philosophy</h2>
<p>
I am <em>a minimalist</em>, enjoying simplicity, and clarity, as exemplified in this resume. In Rails I tend to <em>follow REST and TDD principles</em>, yet I never stay blindly hooked on paradigms. There are always exceptions. I <em>love clean code</em> and refactoring (and I read both of these books). I've been extensively <em>exploring architecture and design patterns</em>, and over the years realized that <em>a simple architecture is more valuable</em> and harder to produce than a complex one.
</p>
</div>
<div class="column">
<h2>Background</h2>
<p>
Before encountering the bliss of Ruby I have been hacking in PHP, Python, .NET, C#, VB.net, and even C++. Some of these endeavors go way back. However, to this day I'm still pretty <em>awesome with Drupal</em> and know my way around Zend Framework, Pylons, and Subversion. <em>Git feels very natural</em> to me and I take advantage of its flexibility daily. Sometimes I <em>configure *nix systems</em> if need arises. I also <em>communicate well</em> in English and Russian.
</p>

<div class="column vevent education">
<h2>Education</h2>
<p>For more than <abbr class="duration">2 years</abbr> I <em>studied at <a href="http://poly.edu" class="url summary">Polytechnic University</a></em> (Brooklyn) pursuing a degree in Computer Science. I abandoned this pursuit a bit past half-way in. However, the courses in Algorithms, Data Structures, Discrete Math, and other <em>fundamental computing-related subjects have taught me a lot</em>.
