Biographical Overview

Toronto-raised, Canadian-born, running around the same borough. I’ve been typing away since ’91 (most likely). I grew up around a Linux terminal from an early age, starting with Slackware Linux, then moving on to Mandrake, Mandriva, OpenSUSE, and finally the Debian distribution. I snowboard in the winter and skateboard in the summer—no time for hibernation. I love learning new languages and exploring new cultures. If I can learn something, I’m interested. I speak English as my first language and Russian as my second (and I’m always learning).
