Hi, Steemers!

To begin with, my name is Kate, I’m twenty years old, live in Moscow and have a lot of hobbies. I always tend to make my life colorful, interesting and try to change everything and everyone around me to the best. I've learned about Steemit from my geek friends and extremely excited to make my first post here.

I look forward to contribute to this open minded community and meet talented people here.

As for my Hobbies, I am really keen on #dancing. I gave and give it a lot of time, effort and love since childhood. I’m dancing all the time, when I’m sad, anxious, happy or exited, always, my passion is endless. I have taken many master classes from stars of dance, have been to different countries like Sweden, Bulgaria, Estonia, Cyprus, Latvia, Belarus, where I took part in dance festivals and won numerous trophies.
I study jazz-funk, hip-hop, strip-plastic, vogue, dancehall and other styles to create my own dance.

Thus I hope I will be able to share with Steemit my vision on this beautiful and expressive art!

As a good dancer, I’m going to create my own rubric #KateDance here on Steemit, where I’ll lay out video lessons on different types of dance.

Besides that I was always interested in math and computer science. I graduated from top math school in Russia and continued my education in Moscow State University where I was fascinated by the machine learning algorithms and blockchains. I even created my own trading bot that helped me to waste the first bitcoin in my life). Scholarships in Russia are meager, thus 1 #bitcoin is a big money.

Now I remember with a smile how much I was upset at that moment. Since then I called myself a loser and even gave up with trading. Anyway, I’ve learned a lot from this lesson.
Machine learning is also one of my research topics. I closely follow the boom of neural networks and learn why they are needed and how can be used to simplify our life. Most likely you've heard about Google AlphaGo algorithm that beaten a human professional player. Nowadays neural networks create music, draw paintings and even determine your age. This topic is very hot, so please stay tuned to see my posts about it.

Besides my main hobbies, I like to read and do it a lot not only in Russian, but in English too. My favorite writers are Dostoevsky, Remark and Maugham. I always try to improve my English and every time when I’m learning, it is a lot of fun. I am glad to communicate with everyone and I’m so happy that English enables me to have friends all over the world.

I think that happiness is in improving yourself and our world.

Let’s go for it together!
