about
hi, i'm anya! more about me and what's consuming me these days:
i like asking questions and talking to new people. I enjoy the process of going deep into unknown technical fields.
i feel my most creative and thoughtful being physically active - running, climbing, skiing, swimmming, playing tennis. i'm usually up for (and very excited about) new adventures.
what am i up to now?
i'm learning to be a better engineer.
