About me

Alex Smirnov

It's my viewing on human life & IT life, their crossings & outstandings. It's about my escape from absurd Russian mentality to IT technology. Some kind of emigration, if you like. I'm a professional software engineer (php, ruby development, maintenance of Linux servers). And I want to leave Russia forever.

 

Professional skills:
