I am super excited about the potential applications of Computer Vision in real world. Before Mashgin, I worked at Facebook, Microsoft and Yahoo. I love thinking, exploring and creating. I also love walking. Walking and thinking seem to go very well together so I have found a way to be effective while also being healthy.
Edit in 2021: I've found something much better than walking. That is running as hard and fast as I possibly can for as long as I possibly can. I can now run at the speed of 6 minute / mile for multiple miles. I've never felt this good since I was maybe 12.
