Although I have been in the private sector and a business owner since 2014, I still consider myself primarily an algorithmician. I view computer science as an experimental discipline, where theory is a helpful tool but not an end by itself. My favorite topics include machine learning, approximation algorithms (usually probabilistic), and the fascinating question of the quality of decision-making with respect to information loss.

Beyond that, my interests include business and investment strategies, sociology of the algorithmic world, applied philosophy, and technical engineering.
