I was raised in Moscow, immersed in an education system that emphasized mathematics and technical disciplines. This foundation paved the way for my Computer Science degree from the University of California, Berkeley, where I specialized in Machine Learning. Today, I focus on building scalable data platforms to bring these algorithms to life.

I am a professional hip-hop dancer. While it’s no longer my primary occupation, I have the tremendous privilege to be a part of an exceptionally talented community of performance artists in New York City. I continue to educate in this space and participate in passion projects.

I care a great deal about communication. Its influence on the way we experience the world is subtle, but dominant. Right now I’m involved in organizing a few local AI communities.

I am a student and practitioner of Zen, with familial roots in the Vietnamese Thiền tradition.
