CURRENT MISSION

Diving into the world of architectural geometry

ABOUT ME

Applied math geek currently doing architectural / geometrical consulting on large scale projects. I won't attempt to give you an in-depth summary of my personality here, but I guess the most important part for you is this:
A decent amount of traveling and especially couchsurfing have tought me that not taking any prejudices seriously, being as open to new things and people as possible and especially trying to be kind and helpful to strangers very often leads to the most amazing experiences and, overall, to a very satisfying way of life. I can't predict if we'll like each other, but why don't we have a beer and find out?

Music, Movies, and Books

For Music: I'm absolutely unable to pin it down to any classification words - I like anything that sounds good! (Basicly: Everything other than Hardcore Techno).
Right now I'm trying to adjust to my new hometown by listening to french chansons.
For Movies: I love the independent and art-movies my dad buys all the time, Jim Jarmusch etc., but I also really enjoy a well made blockbuster or a good thriller. For Books: I have to find the time to start reading more again...
