I want to get immortal or die trying. I worked in strategy consulting, digital forensics, cryptocurrencies, high-frequency trading, and science communication. My roles included marketing director, special projects manager, algorithmic trader, and (multiple times) co-founder & jack of all trades. In 2014 I co-founded GranumSalis - discussion club / lecture bureau. We held about 120 interactive events with up to 500 visitors, touching issues around science, technology, and society. In 2016 GranumSalis team launched FriendZone - social game in reality for self-development with like-minded people. My life philosophies are realism and secular transhumanism.

Said "I love you" and felt that. Had a real fighting with the head of the company, in which I was working. Stopped trading time for money a year ago.
Teach, Learn, Share
There was a summer when I read books 12 hours a day. There were two years when I read blogs and articles 6 hours a day. I was a true information consumption zombie, but decided to move to reality about 5 years ago.
