Oleg Varaksin is a senior software engineer living in Germany, Black Forest. Oleg is a graduated computer scientist who studied informatics at Russian and German universities. His main work and 'daily bread' for the last six-seven years consisted of building Struts, JSP, JSF, Spring and jQuery-based web applications, mostly document management systems.
