I am originally from Moscow, Russia with a background in Mathematics. I have completed my PhD in programming languages in 2006 and took up a job as a Lecturer in Software Engineering at Victoria University of Wellington. During my studies I took short breaks to work as a Visiting Researcher at Purdue University, and Software Engineer at two Wellington start-ups.
