About Me

I'm a freelance software engineer and data scientist. I'm into outdoor stuff: hiking, rock climbing, surfing, etc... I've been living mostly nomadically for the past four years, it's been pretty great.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet people and sleep on couches.

Interests

The Outdoors:
I'm far from being sponsored by Red Bull (I blame occasional joint pain), but I love hiking, rock climbing, surfing, skiing, swimming, taking pictures, camping, etc...

Traveling:
I’m a freelance software engineer and data scientist. Since my work isn’t tied to the office, I enjoy the flexibility of working from any place with good wifi. That’s taken me to the coast of California, around the Western US, throughout parts of Australia, Singapore, Thailand, Bali, South Africa and Portugal.

Innovation:
I enjoy topics such as entrepreneurship, the quantified self-movement, computer programming and science. I work at the interface of computer science, biology, and medicine and I hope to start my own startup in the near future.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I managed to stay alive so far!

I also gave a short presentation at the FBI, created my own rock climbing routes and explored illegal parts of Paris catacombs.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you some French words, how to surf waves or climb rocks. Or programming if you're interested in that.

What I Can Share with Hosts

You could use my climbing equipment if you want (under my supervision of course).

If you have any computer or smartphone issues, I can try to help.
