Who I am?
Hi Steemians! My name is Andrey Bogomolov. I am 23 years old. I'm from Russia. I am student of master's degrees program at computer science department . And now I'm doing a project related to the establishment bot for telegram.
Biography and my interests
When I was young I was inspired by the idea of creating robots that would perform routine instead of a person. Therefore, I became an undergraduate student of math department. I knew that fundamental things will help me in the future to create robots. Despite the fact that the majority of acquired knowledge in pure math are not applicable in life, I'm very pleased that I was fortunate to be a student of this department and to communicate with intelligent community. I believe that my knowledge of math allowed me to get to the Computer Science department and completely to proceed to the solution of applied problems.
During my life I have worked in different places. I was interested in algorithmic trading, worked in logistics, was doing academic researches and have developed a chat bot in the Telegram. All these different things connects only one - I've always tried to create robots. Even as a Junior Analyst at Metro Cash&Carry Logistics Department, the main what I've been doing is automating routine daily processes. I was attracted to Financial Markets, because the industry involves algorithmic trading. Finally, Telegram Bots are the most interesting variation of the robots, because they interact with people.
I believe that people should be engaged in creative activities insted of heavy uninteresting work. I think that robots make our world similar to ancient Greece in which citizens were engaged in science, art, politics and philosophy, but all the heavy labor was done by slaves. In the 21st century robots will do the work of slaves
My hobies
Since my interests are somehow connected with carrying out of time with computers, in order to relax and gain new energy, I decided to take up an active hobby. In my spare time I do mixed martial arts and get pleasure from this activity because it allows you to get away from writing code. The wrestling makes me a lot calmer and more disciplined.
Also I love to travel. While travalling I learn a lot about other countries and cultures.
What I am going to write here?
In the next article, which I will post, I would like to describe how to create a simple bot for telegram on node.js. In particular, I wanted to tell you about work with such features inline mode and callback query, which in my opinion significantly improve user experience and provide a more convenient bots. In particular, I'd like to tell you about the new features that telegram added in April this year. In my opinion, they significantly improve user experience and provide a more convenient bots, but unfortunately, its very hard to find a clear and detailed tutorial.
Also I would like to tell about some feature I've discovered while I have worked in a hedge fund. I think I can tell something interesting about the use of machine learning for trading statistical arbitrage.
