I was born in Obninsk in the former USSR—about 100 km southwest of Moscow—to an accountant (right, mom?) and a computer programmer. We left to seek the American Dream in 1997. I still haven’t quite found it.

I think my mum and dad wanted me to be a lawyer or mathematician or something, but that didn’t really work out. Today, you can find me happily double-majoring in Computer Science and Communication Design at Washington University in St. Louis, geeking around my dorm, festering in studio or the comp. sci. lab, or entertaining myself with talking at people in a language they don’t understand.
