Profile: https://flows.cv/maksim

I love to hack things up, develop web, mobile and desktop apps in various languages. Things that I made recently include: Crypto trading bot, retrained Inception v3 model that recognizes common human activities in Tensorflow, Instagram auto like script and few mobile apps in React Native. Love to use Python and Javascript for side projects while using Java heavily for enterprise products. Strong supporter of clean code and proper use of design patterns. Fascinated by AI/machine learning and cloud computing. Learning and constant challenges are very important to me as I am unable to fall asleep if did not learn something new during the day. Feel free to contact me if you have an interesting project to talk about!
