I am a .NET hacker, researcher, and the founder of a startup, striving to make .NET the platform of choice for deep learning.
We make Gradient, that provides C# developers the full set of TensorFlow APIs, so they could design, train, debug and run state-of-the-art neural networks from the comfort of Visual Studio.
