My name is Olga Bobrova (aka 'oley' or 'oleyka' on the Net) and dragonia.info is my personal website. I created it to display my favorite design projects, share ideas, artistic and photographic pieces... and whatever else comes to my mind. In other words, the website contains all those things that could be of any interest to my friends, clients, colleagues and total strangers.
Who I am:
I am a freelance user interface designer. My passion for web development and computer interface design began in 1994. Since then I participated in many exciting projects with a varied range of expertise requirements and personal involvement.
For more detailed information please see my formal resume and visit my online portfolio which features some of my creations.
How to contact me:
You can leave a comment on this page or send me an e-mail at oleyka@gmail.com.
Where I am from:
As my name implies, I am a Russian girl. I grew up in the city of Ulyanovsk, Russia and graduated from Ulyanovsk State University where I studied applied mathematics, computer programming and linguistics.
I currently reside in the best place on Earth, the heart of the IT world - the Silicon Valley in California. I live in a nice little house with my dear Lev, our bundle of joy Mark and his nanny, a smart standard poodle named Bright.
What I am like:
Since this is a personal website, I guess you'd expect to see some pictures of me and my family, so here are My photo albums. Once you get bored with oh!-so-typical personal photos, I would like to invite you to the Photography section of this website which features several thematic galleries of photographs taken by Lev and myself.
My interests:
Apart from my professional activities and Photography I am greatly interested in digital image processing, including Retouching and restoring old photographs and pictures.
My favorite sports are hiking, skiing, swimming and roller-skating... well, practically all kinds of outdoors activities.
I have none. Absolutely none! And I intend to keep it this way. To be honest, I can hardly understand why on Earth someone would want to post online on a daily basis the whole range of the mental process refuse material they call "thoughts" and offer others to comment on what is there. While some people's notes are definitely worth reading, the opuses of the remaining 99.99% are just increasing the entropy in the Universe. I love the place where I live, so I personally opt to do my best to keep its entropy low.
Why Dragonia?
According to Chinese horoscope, I was born on the year of the Fire Dragon. This, along with some features of my character has convinced Lev that my true name must be Rainbow Dragon. Dragonia.info is a little space where my inner world is reflected onto the virtual world of the Internet.
