Summary
Big Data. Data Science. Digital Analytics.

I have extreme interest in advanced analytics, machine learning, deep learning and engineering
methods for AI and data analysis. My favorite topics are ranking problems, CV, NLP, AR... the entire
playground to line the stars and all kinds of magical things we can do with data.

Don't judge me by my Kaggle and Git profiles, I use them differently from other developers.
