Sivakorn (Mil) Lerttripinyo Personal Website

Finally, I have my personal website after several years of procrastination. I would like to say thank you to my friend, Pontus Holma, for introducing me to this awesome framework. This website is still underconstruction. I write this start page very quickly because I don’t want to leave the template text to be here for too long.

Hello everyone! My name is Sivakorn Lerttripinyo, but you can just call me “Mil”, which is my nickname. Apart from formal situations, no one in Thailand calls each other with their first name. You may wonder how we have our nickname. The answer is that our parent just randomly picks any word. So, you can normally meet Thai people with the nickname “Best”, “Earth”, “Ice”, etc. Don’t feel surprised!

For any Swedes here, I know that “en/flera mil” means “one/several 10 kilometers”. Some feel weird with my nickname, but I don’t really want to change it or use another name. Thanks for your understanding!

I am currently a second-year master student in Computer Science at Uppsala Univerisity, Sweden. My CS program allows me to choose the track(s) after being admitted to the program. I finally decide to pursue a “programming language” and a “concurrency and parallelism” track. These are some (chosen to be listed here) courses I have taken.

My Former Study

I hold a bachelor’s degree in Information and Communication Engineering from Chulalongkorn University, Thailand. This degree is an integration program between a computer and an electrical engineering focusing on a communication and network system. These are some (chosen to be listed here) courses I have taken.

Principle of Data Communication
Netcentric Architecture
Ubiquitous Computing
Teletraffic Engineering and Network Optimization

I also took some courses relating to Software Engineering and Data Science.

Software Engineering
Database Systems
Data Warehousing
Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning
Data Structure and Algorithm

My bachelor thesis topic is “Machine Learning for Financial Market”. You can read its detail in the portfolio page.

My Other Interests

I also have an interest in human behavior and psychology. I took two psychology courses during my bachelor as general education courses. One is about the social psychology, and another is about the psychology to improve our work and study life. During my free time, I also read non-fiction books on this topic, such as “Thinking Fast and Slow” (such a classical book) and “Think Like a Freak”.

I am also studying Swedish language as well. To be honest, I am not that good language learner, but I am currently trying my best. Some of my friends ask me why I learn this language. Well, I now live in Sweden, so I guess I should, isn’t it? I don’t want to always use a Google Translate in my daily life, but it appears that I still always use it because there are still a lot of words I don’t know. I have already finished two basic Swedish courses offered by Uppsala University. De säger att min språknivå är A2, men jag förstår fortfarande inte talad svenska. Den är för snabb. I am currently trying to watch Bäst i Test with a Swedish subtitle. Well, not that bad, I would say!

There are still more parts I want to add here, but I am too tired now.
