about me + contact
Hey! My name is Denis Lantsman. I’ve done some cool things in my technology career:
- Machine Learning and Search Quality Engineering
- Full-Stack Software Engineering
- Implementing a browser-native Domain Specific Language for building interactive math experiences, and a supporting integrated development environment.
- Infrastructure / Dev-Ops
- Developing hiring processes, mentoring, and shaping an awesome engineering team.
These days I work on building teacher.desmos.com.
I’m interested in many things!
- 💪🏻 I’m an avid climber (boulderer), and I really enjoy learning about the science of sports and skill acquisition, and applying it to my training. My favorite resources are the perception and action podcast, strongerbyscience, and especially their art and science of lifting books.
- 🔪 Cooking. I love learning from folks like Kenji and Internet Shaquille.
- 🐕 Dog training. I have a very smart, but also very challenging dog. I got really into dog training while trying to figure out ways for us to coexist. I really love Hannah Branigan’s work.
- 🕳️ Absurdism / existentialism. Though I prefer to find humor in it, like Rational Funk.
- 📝 Self-evidently, I enjoy writing.
The whole point of this blog is to create a community. Each post is like a message in a bottle, floating in the ocean (oSEOan ?), waiting to be found. So if you connected with anything in this blog, please treat me with a note. I’ll find it very reinforcing.
