Hi, my name is Kostya, and I'm a machine learning engineer at Leipzig, Germany.
I also used to study civil engineering back in Ukraine and worked in that field as well.
I like geeky stuff and people, but I'm certainly not limited by that.
Furthermore, I love music, art, cinematography, and literature. Huge fan of classic/modern art museums, culture, and music events, especially electronic music events (yes, raves, I'm looking at you).
Sports is my lifelong passion and I enjoy learning new sports (slackline, spikeball) and mastering the ones I know (street workout, climbing).
Travel is something essential for an all-around developed person, in my opinion, and it's just so much fun!
At some point, I watched lots of stand-up (maybe too much) so I really appreciate a good sense of humor and hope you'll appreciate mine :)
This also led to the fact that I love open-minded people and try to be one myself.

Music, Movies, and Books

I used to watch tons of films earlier. My favorite directors are: Park Chan-wook, Bertolucci, Tarantino, Jarmusch, Polanski, Lars von Trier///
It's hard to decide in a couple of sentences what kind of music I like, there is just too much of it. But some of you may be aware of an electronic music wave in Ukraine since 2014, wich I was happy to witness. So, yes, techno and all sorts of beautiful electronic music build my one of my biggest spotify playlists. In addition, hip-hop, funk, instrumental, jazz, postpunk, coldwave, surf, synth-pop...
I've read a bunch of fiction (classical and non-classical), now prefer scientific/educational literature. Oldos hucksley, Strugatsky Brothers.
