I do all kinds of stuff, but mostly:
- Artificial Intelligence,
- High-Performance Computing and
- Risky Investment Stretegies.
My Timeline
πΆπ» I wrote my first line of code in elementary school.
π¦π» Freelanced as a web-developer in middle school.
π§π» Launched my first profitable IT business in high school.
π Dropped my Astrophysics degree. Twice.
π΅ Sitting on semiconductor & tech stocks since 2013.
π’ Invested over 6 years of research to design Unum, self-funded!
π Visited ~50 countries across 4 continents, lived in 11 of them.
π
Fluent in Russian, Armenian & English.
π» These days, I code in C++ 20, CUDA 17, Python, and Assembly on x86/ARM.
β€οΈ Science, big servers & chess!
Current Activities
- Founder of Unum.
- Head of C++ Armenia π¦π².
Talks
Most materials are in English, unless βflaggedβ otherwise. The absolute majority is on the subjects of Systems Development, Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence. If a talk is marked with π―ββοΈ - I was just a wingman supporting another speaker. If itβs marked with π£οΈ - itβs not technical.
