Eugene Shagenov | UncommonGoodsEugene Shagenov, UncommonGoods Software Development Manager
My hometown is……
Brooklyn, NY.

I’m passionate about……
In no particular order: travel, technology, food, nature, movies, spending time with friends and family, sleeping in.

An uncommon fact about me…
I enjoyed reading War and Peace in Russian.

My guilty pleasure is……
Video Games. A whole different universe at your fingertips.

When I’m not working, I’m probably……
Spending time with my wife and my five-year-old son.

My favorite TV show of all time is……
The Wire. Love the characters, especially Omar.

Working at UncommonGoods I’ve learned……
Lots of new technology stuff, but mostly the confirmation of a long known fact: the only thing that’s constant is change.

Would you rather… be a successful paleontologist now, or go back in time and actually live with the dinosaurs?
Definitely be a paleontologist now. Dinosaurs are interesting to study, but I doubt they were the most pleasant creatures to live with.
