I'm the kind of a software developer that is eager to be writing code most of the time at work, without being held back by internal politics and bureaucracy. I have extensive experience of systems programming (*nix mostly), middleware development, web development. I'm particularly interested in assignments that require knowledge of low-level systems stuff and modern hardware architecture, kernel hacking, mathematics, or demand a great deal of research. I enjoy optimizing software, both algorithmically and on local scale, and I'm fairly competent with the performance and observability tools on Linux/Solaris.
