About Me

I've spent many years as an attendant for adults with disabilities and still do that part time while I'm finishing up a degree in Electroacoustics (weird beep boop music.

I did a while in art school in Ottawa and also DJ techno and house music and am producing my own stuff. I am interested getting into to doing sound design for video games.

I also just got into learning programming and am currently teaching myself c+++ and Java! I'm currently combing the two by doing some work with artists by programming elements of their exhibitions.

I get excited about tinkering with electronic do dads and learning new stuff with others. I live in a hacker loft space in Montreal and where we make weird music and electronic art.

I am super warm and respectful, especially of people's space and needs. I am told I'm pretty mellow (maybe minus the times I drink too much coffee).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love sharing and connecting with people and this is a really important part of humaning. I'm always open to learning from others and think couchsurfing is a super way to do that.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Programmed my own musical instrument. And once I made a really incredible tofu burger...

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm always willing to nerd out about sound and music. I am always curious about other people and would love to listen to your life stories.

I enjoy sharing food though I'm still learning how to cook things (I can make that tofu burger I mentioned!)

I'm also an avid biker and do parkour so I'd be happy to share or learn new skills there.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can fix your broken electronics! Maybe...I'll try. Or help around the house, I've done contracting work and know my way around a toolbox. Also can usually fix most minor bike problems or help get your bike ready for winter (it's coming!)
