Dmitry Dulepov, 39, born in 1973.

My first computer was an old USSR clone of IBM PC XT in the University. It 
was a very slow PC with a 8086 CPU, no coprocessor, 10MB (MB!!!) HDD drive 
and 512KB of RAM. I usually stayed till very late in the university and 
than ran to the latest train to travel about 2h home :) It was a great time 
with a very little sleeping time :) I learned that resources are not 
unlimited and efficient coding allows to achieve more. Since that time I 
always think about performance and memory first.

I learned coding using Turbo Pascal 5.0, which is a strongly typed 
language, which does not forgive at all. Than I coded in assembler, C++, 
Java and Python. From all these languages I love Python most.

I came to TYPO3... Hm. I do not remember when. But my first version was 
something like 3.6.x and my first extension took me a month to code after I 
learned TYPO3 for a month :) Now I would code it in 4h. I joined core team 
by Kasper's invitation to help him with UI for workspaces. Than I took some 
exts from him for maintainance when he announced his resignation.

TYPO3 is my life and job for many past years.
