First-time entrepreneur
I want to be my own boss, and be in control.
give up
* instead of talking - get things done and show how they work
* ability to listen actively is an acquired skill and is very important

I have a passion for building the best software for the Internet. I like to focus on one project for a long period of time and achieve significant results.
By education I am a Chemist, I have earned Ph.D. degree in Chemistry from Princeton University. I grew up in Russia where at that time profession of software developer was generally unknown. Currently I am working on connecting the dots between the professions of Chemist and the Software Engineer.
Right now in my free time I attend every possible developer conference and focus on Askbot project and a non-profit resource science online resource NMR Wiki.
NMR Wiki is my another web project that grew out of my professional activity. NMR Wiki is a knowledge base and a networking site for NMR Spectroscopists - people that to a large extent enable Chemists identify and characterize the compounds.
