= Who I am =
I am a college student in Massachusetts, USA. I have been using Linux with KDE for the past year, mostly Kubuntu. I would like to contribute my skills to these excellent projects. I have started by helping triage Kubuntu bugs on Launchpad. This summer, I would like to devote as much time as I can to developing for Kubuntu and KDE. I have been programming since I was 11, but mostly in classes over the last 4 years. Most of my programming experience is in Java, but I did take an introductory C++ course. I also have experience with MIT Scheme and HTML. A couple of Java projects I created in the past can be found at http://people.brandeis.edu/~ykozlov/java/
== My Linux and Development Experience ==
I have been using Linux with KDE for the past three years, mostly Kubuntu. I would like to contribute my skills to these excellent projects. I have been helping triage Kubuntu bugs on Launchpad. I have been programming since I was 11, but mostly in classes over the last 6 years. Most of my programming experience is in Java, but I did take an introductory C++ course, and have recently done some work with Qt in C++. I know Python and PyQT/PyKDE from my Summer of Code 2006 project. I also have experience with MIT Scheme and XHTML/CSS. Some of my programming, 3d modelling, and web design projects can be found on my website at http://www.yktech.us
