Igor Sereda’s Summary

I'm learning to build software. I aim to learn much as the founder, CEO, project manager and software engineer at ALM Works, a software product company based in Russia.

I used to work as a software developer, web developer, systems/network administrator, database administrator, database programmer, project manager, director of support services and head of R&D department.

When I felt that I wasn't bringing enough new stuff to this world, I quit my last job at an outsourcing company and started on my own. In the future, I'm going to build software that kicks ass!
