My full name is Borys Andrzej Musielak, but you can also know me as michuk or michux from different web forums, IRC and the Usenet.

I’m a programmer and a software designer which means that I code for living. Usually in J2EE (Enterprise Java) technology. I worked for companies like EO Networks, empolis Poland, CoCoNet AG in Warsaw, Poland. Currently I am employed by a London City-based Rule Financial as a technical consultant.

I created and maintain a few websites including Linux/FLOSS knowledge sites: PolishLinux.org (English), jakilinux.org (Polish), a social IT news site OSnews.pl (Polish) as well as a new film buffs community and movie recommendation website: Filmaster.com.

Personal profile

I am currently 30 years old. I live in London, UK. In 2004 I graduated from college. I studied computer science for 5 years in Polish-Japanese Institute of Information Technology in Warsaw. My master thesis concerned the implementation of full-text search engines in OODMS (object-oriented database management system).

I try to travel a lot. I spent a year of my life in Oscoda, Michigan, U.S. (as part of the Rotary Youth Exchange program) while still at high school. Later I studied in London for one semester at University of Westminster (EU’s Erasmus program). During my professional career I often flied to Dusseldorf, Germany (job-related stuff).

What else… Well, I’m a movie maniac. I watch lots of good movies and some lousy ones as well (just to have a comparison). Usually 1-2 of them a week. I love Kieślowski, Bunuel, Jarmusch, Tarantino, Herzog and many more (check out my film ratings here).
I like different kinds of music… trip hop, new jazz, some avant rock… usually all sorts of funky stuff that I’m currently keen on.
