I grew up in California in the city of Cupertino which is the home to Apple. After finishing high school, I moved to Santa Barbara to attend UCSB where I received a bachelor and masters in Mechanical Engineering. Soon, I will be moving to Pittsburgh where I will be pursuing a PhD in the Mechanical Engineering Department of Carnegie Mellon University and researching robotics.

I enjoy listening to music, specifically electronic music, and love to go to music festivals. In my free time, I like to stay pretty active. I regularly go on hikes, lift weights, and occasionally do yoga. Besides physical activities, I also like to eat and cook.

In addition to these hobbies, I enjoy tinkering with a variety of mechanical things. I worked on many projects such as designing and building a drone, 3d printer, and other custom products. I am also a huge car and motorcycle nut. I'm into all types of cars/ bikes from import cars, to old american classics. In my past I have owned and worked on a Jeep XJ Cherokee, WRX, 78 Camaro Z28, Impala, ex500, klr650, sv650... I'm probably missing some.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm looking for my soulmate... JUST KIDDING!

I'm very open minded and love to try new things and get new experiences. What better way to do so than to travel to new places and meet with locals and other travelers. Also, I'd love to meet people from around the world with different backgrounds and perspective and show them what my hometown has to offer.
