Stas is an "optimization freak", the person who disassembles all code he sees (including Windows) to see how good compiler did its job. He joined Metalink as junior C++ developer in October 2003 and has been working on some of the most sophisticated R & D projects of Metalink. If he could publish all his work he would probably become a PhD by now. Stas's favourite tool is Microsoft's Visual Studio and needless to say he prefers C++. Stas is a graduate student of St. Petersburg State Polytechnical University. When not in the office he is "Gaming. Eating. Reading. Programming. Sleeping. Then gaming again..."
