My name is Val Paliy and I am glad to see you on my website. I am known by many names, Mantis is one of them, and I can be found on Weblancer.net, free-lance.ru, digg, gdf, and SitePoint.com.
I am also interested in mobile computing, so look for me on SEMobile.com.ua and Ladoshki.com.
When I was single, I've also had a profile on Passion.com, however I am in a relationship at the moment, so the profile is there only in case I'll ever need it.
In case you'd like to find more of me on the Net, simply use ValPaliy and valeriypaliy as search queries for Google. Other than that - feel free to read/view my LiveJournal blog in Russian, My blog in English, MySpace profile, Facebook profile, my resume below as well as my portfolio.
If you are like myself, using a bunch of social networking sites, you will enjoy Spokeo - a way to track your friends on more than 22 social networks at one place. I strongly recommend a site called Myspace Layouts to freshen-up your MySpace account, if you have one, of course.
You can also download my resume in PDF, view my portfolio and visit the Val Paliy Design Studio (ViPDesign Studio).
Thank you!
