Aleksey Gurtovoy is just a one Russian guy from Siberia, who now lives and works in the United States. He is a technical lead in a small software company MetaCommunications, a job and people which have taught him so much.
He was born in early 1977, has been in love with computers since 1989, and still has a lot of (exciting) ideas for his "spare time" in the next few years. The first computer he worked with was DEC PDP-11, and he still has a kind of nostalgia about this amazing machine. He graduated with honors from Krasnoyarsk Technical State University in 1998 with a Master Degree in Computer Science.
While being acknowledged as a talented programmer, Aleksey tries to be a better engineer than he is now and hopes that reading good books will help him with that task. He reads a lot... One of his favorite books about his profession is 'The Mythical Man-Month' by Frederic P. Brooks, Jr.
He has been working with C++ since 1993, he loves the language and wants to be involved in its progress. Sometimes you can come across his articles in the comp.lang.c++.moderated and comp.std.c++ newsgroups. The other numerous things Aleksey is interested in include patterns, object-oriented methodology and programming languages, organization of software development process and tools & technologies which make programmer's life easier (e.g. compilers).
He is not married, but he has in mind one great girl he hopes to be with someday.
