Hi, I was born in Saint-Petersburg Russia, lived and worked there for the best half of my life, then worked in the USA at the UIUC. I then moved to Australia to work for Moldflow (currently Autodesk Moldflow). I am earning my living as a plastic engineer but interested in aspects of human culture and God's wisdom. If you understand Russian language you can read my livejournal at http://www.livejournal.com/users/zanuda. Or on IRC as Alex Bakharev/abakharev.
I am an admin on English Wikipedia, if you want me to be recalled here is the instruction how to do it in four easy steps.
