CURRENT MISSION

Encourage more people to become philanthropic: to help the world's worst-off.

ABOUT ME

Born in Russia, moved to USA @ 11y/o. I'm part of the effective altruism movement and I earn to give: I give at least 10% of my income to the most cost-effective charity I can find. At the moment it's Against Malaria Foundation (see GiveWell.org for a review).

PHILOSOPHY
