I'm currently working as a code monkey for Morgan Stanley. Some time ago, I finished my Master's in AI at McGill University. I hail originally from Bucharest, Romania, but have since relocated to Montreal (with an intermediate stop in Ottawa).

In my past life as a research nerd, I worked with algorithms that (try to) learn approximate predictive representations of partially observable models by taking in consideration the agent's interest in the world.
memes, meerkats, the em-dash, shit-talking, football (round ball kind),
weird/obscure words (myrmecophilous), but not using them in sentences
any hours before noon, comma splices, spiders, the word 'leverage',
below average typography
Neelix
zombies (the running kind), velociraptors (the not-to-scale kind),
the fall of the subjunctive, using too many semicolons
Gonzo the Great
eats ALL the bacon
