about me

I like computers!

I want to be a full time research scientist and work on the intersection of math, AI and low-level systems
I worked as software engineer for 7 years and then as AI engineer for 2 years
My name is spelled as yenjay in English and 延杰 in Chinese
Email: jedrzej@maczan.pl
I'm doing Foundations of Probability and Statistics Specialization at University of Colorado Boulder, to get admitted to Master's program in AI
I got bachelor degree in computer science from Wrocław University of Science and Technology
