It's always kind of hard for me to describe myself in a colorful way, but here are some things that I came up with (:

I'm a Software Engineer and I'm excited about science, technology, and humanities ability to achieve great things.

The Idea that I have to actually do something with my life came to me after I've read a book called Harry Potter and Methods of Rationality (http://hpmor.com). The format of the book (fanfic) made me skeptical a bit at the beginning but I've received a lot of positive references from the community I was involved in at the time. And it was totally worth it (I highly advise anyone who reads this to look into it and at least give it a try for a few first chapters). The book (and more formal description of the discussed topics available at http://lesswrong.com) changed my view on a lot of things but specifically it got me interested in Transhumanism, Rationality, Artificial Intelligence and Philosophy.

Things I've been doing:
For some time in the recent past, I was working on the project called VirtualWorkspace, designed to boost your productivity by bringing your workspace into the virtual reality. But ultimately for various reasons, it was not a successful project. So I moved on and for the last 8 month, I've been living in Paris where I work with VideoStitch on making high quality live 360 video accessible to everyone.
