It seems that Sasha was born with an interest in physics and electronics. Sasha's MSc in Automation & Remote Control and his PhD in Engineering & Nuclear Physics provide an insight into his curious nature. Other strong interests, apart from broad and indiscriminate reading, include the visual arts of drawing, painting and 3D photography.

Sasha and Chris met in 1992 while writing assembler code for computerized telecommunications devices, Sasha continues to develop software to this day.
