About Link to heading

I’m Marek Barak, I started my journey into computer science when I was 15 by coding in C++, without having access to the internet and in good old fashioned Bloodshed C++. Since then nearly 20 years have passed, and I managed to get a Master degree in Computer Science and Statistics from the University of Economics in Bratislava. I had the opportunity to do machine learning and build distributed systems for early to mid-stage startups. Right now, I am a Senior AI and Machine Learning Researcher at ESET, where I combine cutting-edge AI and cybersecurity.

My professional interests are:

• Machine Learning
• High performance and distributed computing
• Reverse Engineering and Vulnerability Exploitation
• Secure Coding

As for my personal life, I am married (Still finding it hard to figure out why she said yes!). I am also a father of three sons, cat person and a book worm committed to life long geek-hood.
