I am a human being. When I was a student, I studied Mechanical and Automotive engineering in the UK, then cycled across Europe, there I gained most of my CS experience.

I do sometimes work , but I don' like working too much so I just don't, but when I do - I freelance as a engineer/designer.

I understand how things work, and when hosted, I will fix things if tools, materials and refreshments are supplied.

Interests

When I travel, I mostly hitch hike or cycle. I play guitar and yell sometimes. I like fixing and building things - I am the definition of DIY, buying something is tough for me as I always choose to build, even my traveling backpack or luggage size skateboard.

Music, Movies, and Books

From slimy grindcore to underground hip hop, punk rock, sometimes even soundclown mashups. My little pony soundtrack, chipmunk chiptunes mixed with Death Grips just sound fine. But folk punk is my favorite at the moment - it just keeps me depressively realistic - which means optimistic.

My favorite movie - Holy Motors.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Cycling across Europe on a 30 GBP 1951 Claud Butler bicycle I found in a rusty bike pile in my University. Changed the tyres,added a nice saddle and it brought me home - 2500 km later.
It started out as a random idea, but at once I realized I truly want to do this and randomly I did so, cycling through UK, corner of France,Belgium, Netherlands, Germany, Denmark, Sweden, Lithuania and my homeland Latvia. Still don't mind cycling.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am aiming to build a motorhome out of an old Mercedes o303 bus. Will need patience and a lot of rust removal.

I can, pretty much, use all tools. And If I don't, I will learn it really quickly. After a while, I'll start teaching to others.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Thoughts, fixes, bikes, welding, soldering, sewing workshops, crappy (even vegan) cooking.
