About Me

PHILOSOPHY

To live content with small means; to seek elegance rather than luxury, and refinement rather than fashion; to be worthy, not respectable, and wealthy, not, rich; to listen to stars and birds, babes and sages, with open heart; to study hard; to think quietly, act frankly, talk gently, await occasions, hurry never; in a word, to let the spiritual, unbidden and unconscious, grow up through the common—this is my symphony.

William Henry Channing

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Participating in Afrikaburn, the local equivalent of the US Burning Man festival.

I have also experience the sadness, suffering and tragedy of war, being in Sierra Leone at the end of their civil conflict :(

And I will never forget New York City...my first travel outside the African continent and the first time in my life I saw snow

Teach, Learn, Share

First that comes to mind in terms of the CS community is that I can teach and help anyone who wants to learn or improve their English.

I also have good business and IT skills, which I will share with pleasure.
