I am a Ph.D. candidate at the Department of Formal Linguistics, University of Warsaw. I graduated from the Institute of English Studies at University of Warsaw. I like Beowulf and Samuel Beckett's works just as much as sitting in front of a Linux console.
My research activities are on hiatus at the moment, I focused on getting LPI-certified.
I currently work as a software quality engineer at Samsung, where I spend my time on testing embedded software in digital TVs, trying to get DVB-T/C/S tuners to work in Linux, and maintaining a small network of Linux boxes across EMEA.
Before I joined Samsung, I spent about 5 years in software localization — I did just about everything during that time, from localizing and editing, through testing and engineering, to project management. My most recent assignment in localization was with Microsoft.
I'm thoroughly familiar with Microsoft's localization tools and processes (LocStudio, etc.) and, to a lesser extent, with IBM's tools (Translation Manager). I'm available for localization consulting work.

Some stuff I used to work on in the past. It's outdated, but maybe someone will still find it useful.
Poliqarpix is a live Linux distribution based on Slax. Its main purpose is to provide people with a means to try out Poliqarp and maybe build their own language corpus without the need to install anything on their precious hard disks.
The CD image of Poliqarpix can be downloaded here. In order to use it, you have to burn the .iso file to a CD with your favorite CD burning software, insert the CD to your drive and reboot your computer. Poliqarpix should start instead of your usual operating system. If it does not, mail me.
Documentation is still a work in progress, but Poliqarpix is quite talkative, so it should give you all the right directions to start it up successfully. After it starts, it will display some basic instructions concerning Poliqarp and building your own corpus.
A note to people using virtualization software: Poliqarpix was tested with VMWare Server and it works perfectly. A user reports that it also works with QEMU.
I wrote a document which describes the process of installing Koha on Slackware. It's probably no use for modern Koha versions. Also things might have changed in Slack, I haven't used it for a while now.
My GnuPG public key can be downloaded here or from subkeys.pgp.net.
