Keep Sergey happy

I am Sergey Lyubka, a software engineer from Galway, Ireland. I started

working on Mongoose in 2004, and since then continuously improve it,

investing thousands of hours of work. My other project I'm contributing to the

community for free is

Super Light Regular Expression library.

If you feel grateful for the stuff I've done, you can buy me a book from my

Amazon wishlist. Many thanks
