Hi there! My name is Anton, and I am a local Hawking. Well, I don't believe in that, but that's what saying about me 99% of people who know me. Some facts about me:- I'm a developer with huge experience in many different areas. Applications, websites, algorithms, backend, frontend, all that crap without -end.- Currently, I'm highly interested in the field of machine learning and artificial intelligence. Not as a user, but as a researcher. I love experimenting with unusual things, nonconventional approaches, trying to solve unusual problems, and so on. The most interesting areas for me are reinforcement learning and applying AI to solve problems of accessibility.- Copilot AI is suggesting for me write "I have a lot of hobbies.", but nah :) My only passion, as for now, is programming. There was a time when I was highly involved in the sport, for almost 13 years was a consistent member of a gym, street workout movement, and even wushu. Long story short, happened so much shit and I had to almost forget about training. Of course, I didn't forget about everything except programming, but all other hobbies seem much smaller to me.- I have a heavy form of cerebral palsy. I'm not paralyzed, but my movements are very limited, I can't normally speak, walk, perform many usual activities, etc. I can type only two fingers, but it can be counted as one because I can't use them both at the same period of time. I barely can walk, but, at the same time, I was able to push over 100 kg with my legs (we could discuss how fair/cool/ideal it is, but it's not a point). Well, long story short, I'm not a typical person, and I have not a typical life experience and mindset. Life's thrown me some curveballs, but my sense of humor remains intact.I'm juggling multiple projects at the moment, and one of them is an AI system that would provide a way to interact with the PC by using a cheap web camera. There are existing solutions, but they are either too expensive, or too limited, or too complicated, and many other "or". It's not an issue for ordinary people, but what about people with disabilities? I was born in Ukraine and know hundreds of life stories of people with disabilities. Believe me, for them are crucial each of that "or". Nobody would give away a whole salary for a strange device, that "could help", but it appears that it barely works even with ordinary people. Currently, my main goal is to make an alternative solution and I had already made huge progress. I'm not going to stop until I reach my goal. Although, it would be much faster with your support, because I have to combine my research with working as a freelancer, and it's not easy.As for now, I can only offer to share with you materials on the progress of work on the project. Also, I can share with you my experience in programming, tell about other projects, etc. It would be clarified through the feedback. I would be grateful for any support, even if it's just a word of encouragement (for me it's even more important than money, but this is another story).Best regards, Anton :)P.S. I'm sorry for my English, it's not my native language. I'm trying to improve it, but it's hard work. If you find any mistakes, please let me know. I would be grateful for any feedback. Thank you! :)
