I want to get immortal or die trying.

I worked in strategy consulting, digital forensics, cryptocurrencies, high-frequency trading, and science communication. My roles included marketing director, special projects manager, algorithmic trader, and (multiple times) co-founder & jack of all trades.

In 2014 I co-founded GranumSalis - discussion club / lecture bureau. We held about 120 interactive events with up to 500 visitors, touching issues around science, technology, and society.

In 2016 GranumSalis team launched FriendZone - social game in reality for self-development with like-minded people.

My life philosophies are realism and secular transhumanism.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Said "I love you" and felt that.
Had a real fighting with the head of the company, in which I was working.
Stopped trading time for money a year ago.

Teach, Learn, Share

There was a summer when I read books 12 hours a day.
There were two years when I read blogs and articles 6 hours a day.
I was a true information consumption zombie, but decided to move to reality about 5 years ago.

I've got a broad experience in business and technology, so would love to exchange the ideas.
I would also be interested in discussing philosophy of science, lifelong learning, and community building practices.
