I have had enough failures to learn something about project management.  I’m learning to set clear and feasible goals and how to work towards them.  I’ve learned not to promise too much.  I’m learning to be flexible.  And I know, there’s a lot more for me to learn.

My name is Ivan Kurmanov.  I live in Belarus — in Eastern Europe.

I design and code software, make web applications and simple websites, write specs and other documentation, consult on Perl in real time, translate English into Russian and back.

I wrote and debugged a good amount of Perl code.  I know how to deal with Unicode and to process multi-lingual data.  I write in JavaScript and XSLT.  I used MySQL and Berkeley DB in my projects.

Care about end-users: accessibility and usability. Assisting in Linux/Unix system administration.  Apache configuration.  CSS coding.  Automated functional website testing.  Debugging web applications.  Experience in a number of other programming languages (C/C++, Pascal, Python, Basic…).  PostgreSQL database.

I can dive into your project, estimate my possible contribution to it, estimate how fast and what exactly I can do for it and how much that would cost to you. I can work with your team, with your tools, with your setup and help your project succeed.  If that’s a good project.

I only work with good people.
