Alex Moskalyuk is an engineer in a Silicon Valley startup firm.

The end of the dot-com boom prompted Alex to switch his focus from web technologies to semiconductors and statistical research. His interests eventually led him to the United States where he pursued a graduate degree in Computer Science from Eastern Washington University
