(Relocated to Estonian in May 2021 for work)

Hi I'm Daniel. I'm iOS developer (making applications for iPhones since 2011).
I love to describe and share my experience, but at the same time I'm a good listener. I find it fascinating to dig into world perception of another human being with completely different life background.
I love to try new things, both on meta and physical level, like psychoanalysis or mountain tourism.

In 2014 I got masters degree in Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology on Faculty of Physic and Quantum Electronics.

I had different perspective on software development, I worked in a startup where were solo developing app for American truckers and also worked in biggest mobile development team in Sberbank and now working on cyber security app.

I started traveling as a baby, with my grannies and their fishing trips.

By my early teens my mom and I visited many European countries, traveling or skiing.

So I can't imagine my life without traveling and there is a whole world ahead.

I speak: Russian, English, Spanish (less)

Dlaczego jestem na Couchsurfing

I hope that Couchsurfing will help me to find local people and living with them will help me better understand the place I'm visiting through understanding my host personality and becoming real friends.
I think most fascinating thing to do is to pinpoint cultural differences and wonder together.

Jedna niesamowita rzecz, którą zrobiłem(-am)

I rented a Harley Davidson Fat Boy in San Francisco, went down the 1st road and camped in Big Sur with 3 fresh friends who were hitchhiking around the world.

I went to motorcycle trip without a plan and ended up in a retreat where we were singing folk finish and spanish songs all night and playing drums around fireplace.

Ucz innych, ucz się sam, udostępniaj

I love to teach and be taught. I hate that many people lack for patience when they try to share their knowledge. And I hate when `teacher` brags and shows off in front of a person who is trying to learn, especially if that person has outstanding knowledge in other domains that `teacher` does't even know about.
I think Socratic questioning is the best way to teach. It helps not only to get knowledge, but get the deep understanding of the topic.

I successfully taught two people to snowboard. Also I regularly help people in learning programming. I made a couple of introductory python courses for 8 grade students in summer school.

I like to help people in learning using Apple devices, because I love them my self.

So my pedagogical skills in combination with other skills and knowledge make me a good teacher)

I'm trying to start doing authentic yoga on my own.

Czym mogę się podzielić z gospodarzami

As I said I'm a techie guy, so I can setup a wifi or something like that)
If you want to try programming, but don't know how to start, I can make an overview that will help you to get into it.
Or may be I can share more advanced knowledge of Objective-C/swift and iOS frameworks.
Even if you need help with natural sciences, I'm a good couch-surfer)

I can teach you fancy stuff like:
* Yo-yo tricks
* Rubik's cube speed-solving
* Juggling
* Snowboarding
* A bit of professional photography
* Tons of funny word games or I
* basic knowledge of crypto-currencies

Also I love to tell stories about outstanding people or my favorite music bands.
