I am a PhD student from Finland, however, originally I am from Russia.
I am interested in many different fields and have plenty of interesting things to tell, from lockpicking to how artificial intelligence works. So if you like to learn about the world - I'm your guy ;)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Meeting people outside of my social bubble. Despite my genuine interest in technology, I am not limited to these sets of topics. However, most of my acquaintances/friends are technical people to the bone of their brains and it naturally limits my perception.

Interests

• chess
• programming
• hacking
• mountain skiing
• quadcopters
• lockpicking

Music, Movies, and Books

The Doors and Pink Floyd are the ones that I never got tired of.
Clockwork orange, The Shining, Gattaca. These are just a random sample of what I like but definitely not a comprehensive list.

Currently I am reading Isaak Azimov's foundation and prerequisites for it (14 other books). I liked Feinman's autobiography (Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman!), Hawking's "Brief history of time" and especially liked "HP and the Methods of Rationality" which continued with a big set of great articles about rationality and humans' biases.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Achieved consciousness. The implications are great

Teach, Learn, Share

I like learning new things and, although I tried many things already, I hope there is a lot to learn yet.
I like teaching in general. Just ask your answers.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can show why programming/data science is magical and interesting.
