I come originally from the Republic of Belarus(ex-USSR). Today I live in Milan/Italy and work in TLC/high-tech/IT sectors. I dedicate my free-time to Milan-IN Business Club 2.0 project, and some other exciting Open Social Web, Open-Source, Social Computing and Social Networking Projects.

 
My professional info:
As my full-time job, I am serving as IT Systems Manager/ Project Manager to a high-tech start-up R&D Lab for IPTV + VoIP service provider. Please see my LinkedIn profile for details. 

My Social projects:
I am the big supporter for everything that's about Social Networking and Social Computing- things that we call Social Communication 2.0, the new concepts to put together the Technology and Communities. And of course my true passion Web 2.0!

I believe that technology must serve to PEOPLE, be OPEN and SOCIAL. The time of "cool technical features" is up, the term "Networking" has another meaning today- its about People and Communities, not anymore about the hosts and applications talking to each other via some protocols :)

Computers and Networks must be social and the "basic services" must be FREE! I'll personally do everything possible to make it happen.
