About Me

I used to work at Nintendo as a game tester then as a French Bilingual Text Editor. More recently, I was a Front-end Web Developer at a small Seattle startup. I'm pretty happy with where my French speaking ability is right now, so I've begun studying Japanese.

I have some family that moved to Singapore recently, so I decided to them and see some other countries in this part of the world. I've been to a few of the Singapore couchsurfing meetups and met some really great people. I hope to meet some more great people throughout the region!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've surfed a bit in France and the US. I've also co-hosted quite a few people while living in Montréal.

By far, my favorite couch surfing experience is when I met some people for beer during my first visit to Montréal. They were so great that I decided to move to Montréal for 6 months and I have made some great lifelong friends!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach English, French, and programming fundamentals.

I would like to learn the basics of other languages and knitting/sewing. I would also like to learn a bit about the theory behind cooking. That is, I can make stuff when following a recipe, but I would like to learn about how different ingredients interact so I can experiment wisely.
