Hi, my name is Artem Russakovskii, and this is my homepage. Its primary purpose is letting others know what's going on with me as well as sharing stuff that I find entertaining. I grew up in Ukraine and moved to the US in April 1999. I have settled in San Francisco and attended Lincoln High School until 2001. In 2001, I got accepted into UC Davis with a declared Computer Science major. I have just received my BS degree in 2006 along with the Russian BA. Currently, I live in San Francisco and work at Blinkx. Please contact me with any comments or suggestions using the form below or use the instant messaging links on the right. Thank you.
