I am from the lovely Russian city Kirov(old name Vyatka). I lived in Moscow from 2014 and have been living in Berlin since 2022.

I have had several major interests: chess until 14, math between 13 and 16, physics between 16 and 19 and AI (machine learning) from 19 to the present day.

My biggest achivements:

  1. Silver medal at International Physics Olympiad 2014 as a member of Russian national team. It’s exceptionaly hard to get selected for this, only 5 people from each country participate.
  2. Win of my team in a competitive team math tournament in 2010 with me as a captain.
  3. Best Paper Award at IEEE conference in Leicester in 2019 for the paper eSports Pro-Players Behavior During the Game Events: Statistical Analysis of Data Obtained Using the Smart Chair. The paper investigate how a player’s movement in a chair can predict their skill in CS:GO. It was a prank that went too far. Instagram post.
  4. Deutsch C1 certificate, which I managed to obtain after 3 months of intensive preparation starting with A1-A2 level without any courses, tutors, or DuoLinguo.

My biggest projects in AI (machine learning):

  1. AI Font generation model (2020 — ~2022) from data collection to release in the app. Press release.
  2. Prediction of in-game events based solely on sensor data from data collection to publication of 5 research papers. The best among them predicts outcomes of in-game encounters (Detecting video game player burnout with the use of sensor data and machine learning) and predicts player skill based on his movement in chair (eSports Pro-Players Behavior During the Game Events: Statistical Analysis of Data Obtained Using the Smart Chair).

I like to play board games and prefer complex euro games for 4-6 players, in particular:

  1. Terra Mystica
  2. Keyflower
  3. Barrage

I used to like travelling. My best trips:

  1. Singapore 2014
  2. Paris - Amsterdam 2019
  3. Limerick - Dublin 2019
  4. Gomel 2013
  5. Amsterdam - Paris 2023
  6. Saransk - Smolensk - Tyumen 2012
  7. Lasarevskoe - 2013
  8. London - Leicester - Nottingham - London 2019
  9. Vladimir - Suzdal 2021
  10. Copenhagen - Oslo - Stockholm 2023
  11. Tver 2016

I used to film TikToks. Many of them were too conceptual, but i still keep them. Some of my content turned out to be popular, e.g.: remote work, focused work, MacBook keyboard, 5 monitors, office chairs, and online courses.
