Profile
Traditional old school developer, maintainer and contributor of various OpenSource stuff.
Location is Saint-Petersburg, Russia.
Started in the early nineties as a lecturer in UNIX systems at university. As a hobby, ported the newly born Linux to an m68k based system ("Besta" workstation). It was a wonderful and romantic time, when only advanced engineers were using the nascent Internet, in which there was no unrestrained consumption and unrestrained control.
Then implemented various OpenSource and Linux-based solutions for the automation of dispatch control in the global power supply systems. After satisfying all the ambitions as the system architect, focused on personal investment management (a bit :) ).
In Linux since 1996. First patch for open-source in 1995 (gcc). Red Hat Certified Engineer (RH9, RHEL5).
Only Linux all the career and now.
I still like the ancient unix ifaces (cmdline, vi, mc), as well as traditional desktops (Mate) and applications (old style browsers).
