I’ve been developing in PHP since 2001. Have worked for major Russian companies, then for an international dating network badoo.com, currently residing in Amsterdam, Netherlands, where I write code and deliver solutions for a Dutch famous online auctioning platform vakantiveilingen.nl. I’m interested in hi-loads, agile development, nice and efficient code, databases and unit testing.
