Ivan Daykov

Bio: I started my life in a big seaside city in a small country in eastern Europe. (The city is conveniently named after a local gas station.) Then I spent most of it in a medium town on weekdays during the school year and at my grandparent's small village during the summer. I then went to university at a big city and finally came to Ithaca for graduate school.

Currently I lead the Technology team here at the Vineyard.
