A little bit about myself
Life is a Picture, But We Live in a Pixel.
We think a lot about those closed paths of the past, forgetting that it’s all still in our hands - new, opened life paths.
Welcome to my playground. Here is a bit about my interests and things I do except training AI models that typical human beings love in daily life :)
+ Outside of Work
