Intro
My short about me spiel.
Hey! I' m Fedor
Paretsky, a student at the
University of Washington
(Seattle, WA) studying
Applied Physics
and
Mathematics. In the past, I was a
technical founder of a
startup,
aspace, Inc., and
consulted other startups. Now, I'm
working on a few other side-projects,
including ssh.uno.
I enjoy working on products that create educational and environmental prosperity for others.
In my free time, I help out at a few non-profits including srnd.org, an organization focused on increasing diversity in Computer Science enrollment and Blockchain Society NW, a blockchain education group based out of the UW.

Expertise
Oooohh mama.
01
Android
Realm, GSON, Retrofit, Google Libraries, Kotlin
I have a multitude of experience in Android application development and teaching. I love developing Android applications the most in my free time, because I'm always excited to witness people's lives being improved through the use of my applications.
02
Backends
node.js, SQL, web.py (Python)
These are the back-end frameworks/languages where I have the most experience. For node.js back-ends, I typically use a standard Express web framework, and sometimes also add some direct network socket functionality to add efficiency to my back-end for apps that have larger amounts of data. I also have some experience with web.py in Python, which I use for barebones back-end development and SQL for relational database design/implementation.
03
Hardware
Arduino/Raspberry Pi
Fiddling with small electronics is another one of my favorite hobbies. I love working with Arduinos to retrofit old machines/interfaces, using sensors/data to make daily tasks easier, or just hacking something portably by putting it on a Raspberry Pi. One time, I threw some code on a Raspberry Pi that could catch WPA/WPA2 handshakes and dictionary-attack handshakes on a remote server, drove around my neighborhood, and cracked almost all the Wi-Fi networks in the vicinity in under five minutes!
04
Algorithms, AI
Python
A lot of the practice that I do to understand more difficult Computer Science concepts and algorithms is done in Python. I love reading about and working to understand the more modern problems in CS, like AI and Quantum Computing (another reason I'm majoring in Physics).

Experience
ssh.uno is the fastest, simplest, most intuitive command-line experience yet.
Over summer, a friend and I built aspace, Inc., a multimodal navigation app that routes users to remote, under-utilized parking spots, and immediately connects them to a nearby last-mile transport option to get them to their destination. Routes are chosen to minimize commute cost and time. In Seattle, we were able to save users $5 - $25 a day with our app. We use parking transaction data, traffic data, and event data to machine learn vacancy probabilities and tie them to street parking. We also built sensor-strips to monitor real-time parking availability. We launched the app in September, participated in Y Combinator's S19 Startup School S19, and just interviewed for the YC W19 batch.

Coming soon! :)
I mentored and judged up to the final at the largest (700+ participant) hackathon in Western Canada!
We created a Chrome extension that highlights important parts of a Terms of Service page using NLP.
I kick-started my current project, ssh.uno here.
We built a Scratch-like interface for creating Keras applications, a Deep Learning Visual Playground.
