Born in Russia, raised in NYC & NJ. I work on Technology. I used to work in politics. I love cycling, photography, travel & terrible 80s music.

Just wrapped up working on a huge campaign. It was an amazing experience but there was no work-life balance. It was all work. I just started a new job where there will be time for me to have both do interesting work, and also pursue my hobbies. I can't wait for the weather to get nice again, so I can go on long bike rides.

I'm an ambitious person, and I am always evaluating whether I am doing all that I am capable of in life. At the time same -- I love to go out and have a good time. Friends are also very important to me.

Drinking caffeinated beverages of all kinds

Am I doing enough to make a difference? We are only here for so long -- the thing we leave behind is the impact we make in life.

Out in Dupont or Adams Morgan. I love a good dive bar, or a place to get a really good glass of Scotch.

You'll have to get to know me to find out. :P
