Bio

Currently, I work as a software engineer in Arista Networks where we are brining to life high-performance data center switches. I’m big enthusiast of Open Source and Open Hardware, particularly interested in low-level programming, hardware and autonomous systems. I hate boredom, so in my spare time I work on my own projects, just walk or train.

Since I remember I’ve always thought that you understand something only when you can explain it. That’s why I was teaching high school students Maths and Physics for a few years at the beginning of my studies, and now I would like to share my knowledge with you. I hope you will find this site useful 😉.

Below, you can find some interesting facts about me in CV-like form.
However, if you are interested in my short-form CV, you can find it here. There are no contact details (for obvious reason), but you can reach me out via email/Twitter/LinkedIn/etc for full CV or just to have a short discussion.
