More about me:
I've been interested in the intersection between technology and psychology my whole life. My biggest passion is influencing people's everyday decisions on a large scale, especially in the cases where these decisions will greatly benefit them long-term. Wellness is by far my favorite of these areas.

Here are some fun things not covered below:
* Started programming when I was 9 on an "Elektronika MK-61" calculator.
* Grew up in Kiev, Ukraine, moved to U.S. when I was 13.
* Took Daniel Kanheman's "Psychology of Decision Making" class at Princeton, making me forever fall in love with psychology of decision-making.
* I love books (Clay Christensen, Andy Grove, Yalom).
