Who is Oleg Karp?
Oleg is a supervisor and a developer at Wikianswers.com site. Oleg was born in 1984 in the former USSR and grew up in Kiev (currently the capital of Ukraine). Although his e…lementary school years were rather uninteresting, things picked up when he entered high school - a physics-mathematical college. During this time, Oleg simultaneously studied at a music school where he learned to play piano. He also had the opportunity to perform at a few theatres in Moscow, where his father was a theatrical director. Outside of his studies the bulk of his free time was spent with computers and computer-related books. Oleg went on to receive a B.Sc. in Computer Science. From there he worked at a big ISP company in the Ukraine - where he started as a systems administrator and after some time moved to the software development department. Most of his programming knowledge is from books. In 2000, he moved to Israel with his parents, but didn't immediately live there. He wanted to graduate from a university first, and one that was preferably in his native language. So after some time away, he finally returned to Israel in February 2007 and started working at Answers as a developer of the WikiAnswers project. Until October 2007, Oleg was the only developer of WikiAnswers and worked together with Chris Whitten (WA founder). Currently Oleg lives in Jerusalem with his two cats, enjoys music, playing guitar (mostly electric) and watching good movies (mostly science fiction or action/adventure movies). He pointed out that he loves all kinds of new high tech gadgets (Really? We couldn't tell!). He is also interested in astronomy and loves to watch stars and planets using his telescope. Given his record, he could soon be gazing at The Oleg Star! (MORE)
