Hi, my name is Piotr Pasza Storożenko located in Warsaw, Poland. I’m a data scientist, physicist, by heart with love for programming. Wannabe applied mathematician. A huge julia enthusiast, but I code mostly in python and R. I prefer PyTorch⚡ to TensorFlow. :) Some small chunks of code and simulations in C++17 and newer are also fine ^^. On this blog I share things I find interesting.
