About me

My real name is Юрій Пероганич in Ukrainian. I have been a practicing (volunteer) Wikipedian since 2006; my home wiki is the Ukrainian Wikipedia, but I make occasional contributions to the Polish, English and Russian Wikipedias as well.

I have a strong background in software engineering, international law and an abiding interest in literature, history and open access.

I am a General Director of the Association of IT Enterprises of Ukraine — a "chamber of commerce" for member companies.

With my wife Tanya we have founded and develop a web portal about the Ukrainian Artists and Art "Ukrainian Woman", http://ukrainka.org.ua

In 2017 I started a wiki «Encyclopedia of Civil Society in Ukraine», http://prostir.wikia.org

in 2018 I became the Head of the Board of the NGO "Creative Elite of Ukraine".

In 2019 I started a wiki «Encyclopedia of Nosivka Rayon», http://wikinosivka.info

One can find articles about me in Ukrainian, French, Korean, Polish and Estonian Wikipedias.
