I work since 2006 as R&D software engineer/Eclipse platform owner at Advantest Europe GmbH in Germany.
Because of my job and for my own pleasure I do lot of open source development - I'm the author of few Eclipse plugins and committer in Eclipse Platform / JDT / EGit / JGit / SpotBugs projects.
In my former life before Advantest I grew up in Moscow, Russia, studied Geology at Moscow State University, moved to Germany, built few roads, cut many trees and made my Diploma in Mathematics & CS at University of Hannover while working full time as software engineer for TUI Infotec.
