Me

My name is Oleg Skrinda and I was born under unusual circumstances. Well, ok not really :) I was born and lived in Latvia, but have been living in London, UK for the last few years and love this city a lot.

I love doing creative stuff, love photography and electronic music, I love not having to get up too early for work and love watching series while on the tube (otherwise commuting would be a killer), love sushi (no surprise here) and my mom’s zeppelins (noone cooks them better then she).

My Experience

For few years I used to work at Pod1, London web-design agency, as a Front End Developer and later as a head of Front End department, where I worked with such clients as Hiscox, Links of London, Blue Inc, Fremantle Media, Kurt Geiger, Paramount hotels, Reiss, Yahoo, Virgin Holidays, Right Move and others (no particular order here). In Sep 2008 I resigned and registered my own limited company Skrinshot Ltd, and at the moment I am doing contract works as a Lead Front End Developer and User Interface Designer for other companies. My areas of expertise are semantic X(HTML) and CSS, Accessibility, SEO and Usability as well as Web Design. Feel free to contact me for hiring. Also see my profile and recommendations at LinkedIn.

About this website

With so many visually rich, beautiful and amazing websites around, I found it extremely hard to create something which would be different and memorable, which would stand out. So I gave up on this and opted to go after something very simple, clean and quite minimal. In the process I came to realization that I was getting inspired by such an analogue and offline media as a newspaper, so I am hoping it is reflected in the web-site’s look and feel.

I am friendly and easy going. So don’t be shy to drop me a line. Also places to find me: facebook, flickr, tweeter.

I will think a bit and will add some more information here.
