About Me

Who am I?

My name is Jerzy Kozyra, but most people just call me Jenny (thus J3ny in l33t). By the time of writing this post I was Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence undergraduate student at Nottingham University, UK. Also I had just finished my industrial placement program being held at Ocado Ltd where I was part of Analytics and Optimisation team being involved in plenty of interesting projects. The time had come however to continue with my final year at Uni which means that while you read that I am probably busy with my major individual project in the fascinating field of AI.

Just for the record: I am a Java programmer with some experience in C/C++, Python and Haskell. Moreover I have made a decision to have a proper bite of Common Lisp as it is so popular amongst artificial intelligence programmers. Hopefully this is not the last time I mention this, otherwise it would probably mean that I failed with mastering it…

Why do I blog?

No particular reason here. I just like the idea of having some sort of diary which would record phases of my personal development. Something that I can get back to in order to review my thoughts and notes from the past. On top of that I believe that it is much better for me to write than to waste time on some pointless computer games (yeah right! As though I was considering them pointless…) or to mindlessly browse the web.

Why the heck is there a master Yoda picture in here?

Size matters not, ... Look at me.
Judge me by size, do you?

Because master Yoda is simply awesome! - and I came to that conclusion during Star Wars marathon we had with my girlfriend (very supportive in my geekiness by the way). Just think about it: Yoda is truly a master. Firstly: he is extraordinary and secondly: incredibly powerful. On the other hand despite his great wisdom and Force within him he is neither vain nor arrogant which makes him a perfect teacher as well. What you can see on the right is my humble tribute to the master.

You can read it as follows:

Genius his indeed I admire.
