One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

It felt amazing when I was doing it but now that I look back it just seems natural, because it's what I did and I do.. so checked! :D

- Taking a team of students to international competition in Japan - organizing all the logistics and leading the team (it was a big deal for me then to do all these and have such big responsibilities for a group of people!
- My first serious software project, and it worked!
- Traveling to Georgia and getting drunk over Cha cha with people met on the tour (that was crazy.. do not try more than 5 shots of cha cha back to back, seriously!)

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you about machine learning, Persian language, and a bit of photography

I would like to learn new languages (open to all languages), for now focusing on European ones! next stop is Asian and east Asia :)
I would like to learn to play guitar, dance, DJ, slacklining, and open to other cool activities

I would like to discuss about philosophy (not good at it yet), issues that Jordan Peterson talks about, as well as politics (as far as it goes on the social security and welfare matters)..
