Developer with theoretical physics background

Till 2013 I was a Theo­re­ti­cal physics researcher, I was actively investigating intriguing properties of fundamental theories governing our Universe. Supersymmetry and general relativity were two main topics of my research.

Since then I moved to programming and the passage was quite smooth due to the fact that actually I'd always been programming when doing my research.

To be a researcher means that one should always study new things and reconcile them with previously studied ones.

This approach accounts for my passion for getting deep understanding of various programming concepts and paradigms and their implementation in programming languages.

Another field of computer science that I find absolutely fascinating and that I study as well is machine learning.
