what am i doing, like right now?
and lately?
hi, i'm mark, a software developer based in toronto. russian by origin, canadian by circumstance, occasionally touching grass elsewhere. i have a habit of solving problems i created myself, in systems i didn't need to build, for reasons i can't fully explain. somewhere along the way it became a personality, and this website is where that lives. think of it as my corner of the internet that isn't a resume.
