I’m NYC-based and love getting lost in new countries and finding food along the way

I grew up in the US in Pittsburgh (fun fact- Heinz ketchup is from there), moved to NYC, and spend most of my free time riding my bicycle, cooking new recipes, taking photos, and going down Wikipedia rabbit holes about random facts I didn’t know I needed.

By day I work at a startup as a solutions engineer - part software, part consulting, which lets me work with people from all over the world.

I’m really into languages and linguistics. I speak English and Russian fluently, am okay at Spanish, and I’m always trying to pick up new phrases wherever I go.

I’m pretty outgoing, laid-back, and genuinely enjoy meeting new friends, whether that’s grabbing food, wandering a neighborhood without a plan, or just having a good conversation over a drink.
