Here is a list of my informal learning, education, and side projects. It's ordered by what is most valuable to me. Formal stuff is written in more professional tone, while informal in more causal. You will get an idea about my experience, and expertise.
Values
On the individual level from positive psychology perspective these are my Valuse in Action.
From larger society level these are dear to my heart and mind:
- Freedom of speech
- Right to privacy
- Radical Transparency / No lying
- Civil rights
- Rule of law
- Sovereignty of the individual
Informal learning and projects
Signaling, and jargon talk incoming, prepare yourself
It's 2014, and a thought comes. It's time to get serious about money. I will finally give Bitcoin a chance. Ok, I need Bitcoin habits. First habit: Read every day r/bitcoin for 2 minutes. Next, buy Andreas Antonopulos book Mastering Bitcoin. 50 pages later my mind blew away! Since, I'm haunted by Bitcoin obsession in my professional, and personal life.
Crypto side projects

Behavior Design with BJ Fogg
I attended virtual Workshop from Stanford University Behavior Design Lab hosted by BJ Fogg.
- 10 Powerful Ways to Apply Behavior Design at Work with BJ Fogg
Models and methods about behavior. Models explain how behavior works. Methods how to design behavior for change. The best money -- 899$ -- I've ever spent! Even better then Bitcoin at 100$.
Since I also enrolled in Tiny Habits Academy and I will probably be certified Tiny Habits Coach. Read more about some of my thoughts on behavior design in Role of tools and environment in behavior, and why I switched to Ubuntu/VSCode from Arch/VIM after 8 years.
