His post-academic career brought him into computer security and software development areas.
Now he fulfills his dream of combining two worlds – interesting scientific research and building useful software. His goal is to make a dent in the universe and make the world a better place.
Privately – sailing the high seas, climbing, meadmaking, fencing, and dozens of other bizzare activities
Like the Architect, but red-headed
An image-processing specialist during his college years, he quickly turned his attention to gamedev.

The interest grew and here he is – with Master and Doctorate degrees in Computer Science.
