About me

I'm a technology professional with years of experience in a wide array of domains - software engineering, system administration, full-stack software development, with a focus on information security.

Happily married with 2 kids.

In my free time, I like to exercise (I love HIIT/Tabata and heavy lifting), hike, sing karaoke, and play video games with friends and my kids. Occasionally, I come back to learning playing guitar (a pandemic era ambition).

I maintain a set of custom-built karaoke machines based on Raspberry Pi and pikaraoke and I've been experimenting with using AI models for cleaning up, remastering audio and performing voice removal and automatic subtitling for karaoke tracks.

I like to play with small scale machine learning (the kind that can fit on my personal nVidia RTX 4090 with 24 GB of VRAM). Recently, I've completed Andrej Karpathy's "Neural Networks: Zero to Hero" course on deep learning, building custom models starting from a Single-Layer Perceptron, up to a small scale Generative Pre-Trained Transformer (GPT).
