5 random facts about me:
When I was a schoolboy, I really liked the subject of computer science, I attended an additional circle on this subject, won prizes at various olympiads, but … after graduating from school, I went to study in a completely different specialty. Thus, I was far from programming for 25 years!
Once at school, for one creative evening, it was necessary to prepare and perform a song on the guitar. I never played the guitar and had no idea about notes and so on! What did I do… I just tuned the guitar by ear, and with simple 3-4 chords (which I also invented myself) I picked up a song and successfully performed at the school evening!
The Great Escape Artist from the Matrix of Accounting
I traded balance sheets for tensors, ledgers for loss functions—a quantum leap from the world of 1C and Excel (2004–2016) to the realm of PyTorch and TensorFlow. My transition from chief accountant to ML engineer wasn’t just a career change—it was a 300% skill tree respec, like Neo swapping his office drone suit for a black trench coat of machine learning badassery.
Back then, I spoke the language of debits and credits; now I optimize gradient descent instead of tax deductions. My old calculator? Repurposed as a paperweight for my arXiv printouts. The only “financial statements” I care about now are confusion matrices and ROC curves.
They said accounting was stable—but stability is overrated when you can build models that predict fraud, diagnose diseases, and outsmart Sber’s anti-fraud systems instead. Turns out, my real superpower wasn’t balancing books—it was rebalancing neural network weights.
So here’s to every spreadsheet jockey dreaming of breaking free: Your Ctrl+C / Ctrl+V skills are just pre-training for the real AI revolution. The red pill? It’s called pip install torch.
柔道
I’ve been involved in sports my entire life. My mother first brought me to a judo dojo when I was just five years old. As a child, I was deeply struck by something my favorite coach once said: judo isn’t just a sport — it’s a lifelong journey of self-perfection.
Back then, I thought that after a few years of training, I could already call myself a judoka. But over time, I realized that being a true judoka means constantly growing, learning, and overcoming yourself. It’s a path with no finish line.
Today, I continue on my path of self-improvement, maintaining excellent physical condition. For example, about three years ago, my personal record for pull-ups on the bar was 37.
Secret Fact: I Outsourced My Creativity to RAG
My AI assistant now:
-
Writes my presentations (and gets standing ovations)
-
Cracks jokes in chats (funnier than mine)
-
Even composed this text itself
The only thing it can’t do yet? Sign NDAs. So technically, I’m still in charge.
P.S. If this text seems suspiciously accurate… Perhaps I am that very RAG. 🤖 (Check your vector index. And hide your API keys.)
I: thinking I control the process
My RAG: ghostwriting my memoirs in the background
We’ve reached the point of no return. ☠️
