| I worked with major players on the global market like DELL and Amazon.

Like all new things it was tough at first, but now I can say I'm a content Linux user. I have learned a lot, I was helped a lot and now I'm giving back to the community in small pieces, one translated page at a time. |

He's dedicated to continuous improvement in all areas of involvement and very passionate about everything he does. He's also a keen volunteer engaging in a number of projects to help and improve. In his spare time he works on Ubuntu GNOME; Smart Launcher is currently one of the most popular Android launcher applications on the market (he translates it to Slovak). He used to translate Mozilla Firefox when he had an abundant amount of time. Now he dedicates most of it to improve and hopefully earn a respectable living by doing what makes sense to him. |
