Bio

My name is Oleksii Malakhov. I was born on a cold, sunny day in January in Kharkov, Ukraine. Currently I live in Kyiv, it is an capital of Ukraine. I live with my wife Iren and with my daughter Nicole. My father is an radioelectronics engeneer, so in my childhood I was playing with radioelectronics parts, computer electronics and software.

I started school when I was six-years-old and graduated from Technical Lyceum 173 in 2002. Eventually, I began working with Linux and start playing around opensource software. I studied at the Kharkov National University of Radioelectronics for five years (2002-2007), where I planned to major in Computer Science.

In Jul 2008 I have started q4wine project. It still continue to evolve from an simple 7-lines 'Hello World' application written just for fun. I am really impressed with OpenSource development model.

Then we moved to Kiev and I went to work as an Network Administrator at Ukrzaliznica, GIOC department (Main Computing Facility). I was enjoying this times. There was a great kindly people and a lot of hi-end and expensive hardware to learn and explore. And I was kindly allowed to play with it. I wrote from scratch several on-line services for Ukrzaliznica, like on-line billing system for corporate services and system for corporate electronic document workflow. Had started an IP Telephony integration.

In the begining of 2011 I have started to work for Xyratex as independnt contractor. Developing software for cluster management namely ClusterStor™. It was pretty exciting time. I learned so much new technologies and meet many exciting people. It was a literrary the dawn of my carrera.

In April 2013 Xyratex was acquired by Seagate Technology. I have continued to work on the ClusterStor™ project.

In July 2015 my daughter Nicole was born. Well. It is the most excinting day in my life.

At May 2016 my Contract was over and in April 2016 I have joined to GlobalLogic

Presently, I am Lead Release Engineer at GlobalLogic, and spend most of my free time involved with developing my small projects like q4wine, karatel, plaing Arma3 and StarCitizen or spending time with friends and family. I read a lot of science fiction and fantasy, and I love to travel whenever I have the time and the money at the same moment.
