Hello and Welcome!

I’m Masoud
Poorghaffar Aghdam

I used to be a software developer, but I quited. (why?)
Currently, I am a graduate student at Bilkent University.
I am trying to build AI based tools for biologist. (trying to save lives)
Additionally, I have endeavours to enhance the privacy of people.
I think, I can develop lots of stuff including myself.
