I am a PhD candidate in computer science. I started software development since 2006 and it seems like now it consumes most every part of my life. My life is my computer and solving problems, more specifically computational-mathematical problems, is my passion.I mostly enjoy areas like Machine Learning, Big Data and Brain-Computer Interface (BCI). My major goal in my life is becoming a person who utilizes everything he knows to improve human life quality. I also like hiking and reading self-development books.
