Welcome to my user page! If you want to contact me, feel free to post to my [[User talk:Csernica|talk page]] or to send me [[Special:Emailuser/Csernica|email]].

Professionally I am a [[Software engineering|software engineer]], having graduated in [[1985]] from [[Stevens Institute of Technology]] with a [[Bachelor of Science]] degree in [[Computer science]].  I moved to [[California]] shortly after I graduated and have worked for the same [[Silicon Valley]] company ever since, and currently reside in the [[Santa Cruz Mountains]]. But I grew up in [[New Jersey]] and frankly still feel at times as if I live in a foreign country.

However, I make most of my edits to articles on [[religion]], primarily those related to [[Eastern Orthodox Church|Eastern Orthodoxy]]. I am a [[subdeacon]] of [[The Orthodox Church in America]] in the [http://www.ocadow.org Diocese of the West] under the [[omophorion]] of [http://www.oca.org/HSbiobenjamin.asp?SID=7 Bishop Benjamin] of [[San Francisco, California|San Francisco]]. I don't confine my edits to Orthodox topics though, and also contribute to historical articles or those on any other subject in which I have taken an interest over the years. I pretty much never edit articles related to my professional work.

I've started a few articles here on Wikipedia (I suppose my favorite is [[John of Shanghai and San Francisco]], on the saint who saved the life of my older son) but there are a few others as well as some I have edited heavily and where the present content is largely mine, but I'm not particularly interested in maintaining a brag list here. I am insufficiently energetic to have ever taken the trouble to drag an article to [[Wikipedia:Featured article|featured article]] status, and I doubt I ever will.
