Objective

Unlike many of other people I started working in IT when I was 15 (1992), basically times when I made my first user interface for one of the applications running on main frames. Back that time there was nothing except PDP-11 systems running on DEC. It happened that programming is become my form of living, so this is what I know the best. Different platforms, different techniques of my own…

 So what i want after all is to get a job where i can continue grow professionally, job with challenging tasks, job interesting, i guess, job oriented on using Microsoft. NET, Adobe Flex/Action Script, RealBasic and JavaScript. Architecting, developing and project management for enterprise web applications and SOA is the best thing i can do for today.
