IBM, Think , AI , optimization and me

I just came back from IBM Think 2019 Conference in San Francisco and let me share some thoughts. At IBM Think 2019, I delivered 2 presentations (Optimization in Finance and Machine Learning Optimization) and spent some time meeting customers at our booth at the Event. Now let me go back in time. As a teenager I really enjoyed mathematics and computers. As a hobby I wrote some programs that played Connect 4 and Othello and then later as a student I was lucky to write an Awele program and an early neural networks back in 1995. Even though, I studied aerospace engineering I got really crazy about AI (Artificial Intelligence) and managed to follow a postgraduate degree in AI.
