I am a tinkerer at heart and, I travel to be involved in the next big thing in tech. I was in foster care from an early age (6 years old) until I left foster care at 18, having no idea what to expect. I have been without a home for most of my adult years but, thanks to Lime, I now have a job that pays me well enough to get by and sometimes, if I'm lucky, I can afford to work on projects to add to my professional portfolio (trying to build myself up without college education).

I am on the autism spectrum and may seem to have an odd set of interests (firmware engineering, video games, software engineering, 3D CAD, and Graphic Design among others) but, I can probably fix almost anything electronic you put in front of me. I love working on custom electronics projects but, due to my lack of degree, have yet to land a job doing it (not that it keeps me from building things anyway). I made the mistake of assuming projects I thought were simple weren't worth sharing with others and, as a result I have been revisiting old projects when I can and building them again, but this time, better.

I've probably rambled on too long so, if you want to know more, just ask.

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

I am on Couchsurfing because I need a place to crash for a little while I save up for deposit on a place of my own. If someone is familiar with local rent prices or can refer me to someone who could help me find something in the Austin area (that isn't practically another city), that would be amazing.

Une aventure extraordinaire que j'ai vécue

I managed to survive a Portland, OR winter outdoors with minimal supplies without any noticeable effect on my health.

Enseignez, apprenez, partagez

I am more than willing to share/teach what I have learned in the areas of firmware and software engineering and, if you already know it and are open to it, I would love to collab.

I can also apply what I've learned to help someone who needs help in these areas if they don't have time to learn it themselves.

I would like to learn more about Verilog, ARM assembly, and the Japanese language.

Ce que j'aimerais partager avec mes hôtes

I can share trivial knowledge about random subjects.
I can also share what I have learned from roughing it.
I can share my knowledge of computers and electronics.
I can make some killer mixed drinks and am above average at cooking.

Pays dans lesquels j'ai vécu
