I do all kinds of stuff, but mostly:
- Artificial Intelligence,
- High-Performance Computing and
- Risky Investment Stretegies.
My Timeline
👶🏻 I wrote my first line of code in elementary school.
👦🏻 Freelanced as a web-developer in middle school.
🧔🏻 Launched my first profitable IT business in high school.
🔭 Dropped my Astrophysics degree. Twice.
💵 Sitting on semiconductor & tech stocks since 2013.
🏢 Invested over 6 years of research to design Unum, self-funded!
🌍 Visited ~50 countries across 4 continents, lived in 11 of them.
👅 Fluent in Russian, Armenian & English.
💻 These days, I code in C++ 20, CUDA 17, Python, and Assembly on x86/ARM.
❤️ Science, big servers & chess!
Current Activities
- Founder of Unum.
- Head of C++ Armenia 🇦🇲.
Talks
Most materials are in English, unless “flagged” otherwise. The absolute majority is on the subjects of Systems Development, Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence. If a talk is marked with 👯♂️ - I was just a wingman supporting another speaker. If it’s marked with 🗣️ - it’s not technical.
