About Me

Hey, I’m Amin!

IT guy, photographer, cricketer, droner… basically a jack of many trades! 😄

I work as a Senior Engineering Lead specializing in Cloud, Security, and AI. When I’m not deep in tech, you’ll probably find me outdoors—hiking, cycling, or testing my limits with new sports. I’ve surfed the waves in Goa and can’t wait to try snowboarding and mountain terrain biking.

I also love cooking, capturing moments through photography and videography, and hitting the dance floor with Latin, hip hop, or whatever groove feels right. Tech and gadgets are my playground, and I enjoy balancing an active, healthy lifestyle with spontaneous adventures.

If good vibes, exciting stories, and shared adventures sound like your kind of thing, let’s connect and make some unforgettable memories!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Why am I on Couchsurfing? Well, because life’s too short to not meet amazing people and explore cool places!
• I love to travel: Not just ticking off places on a map, but actually diving into the heart of a city or town.
• People are awesome: I’m all about meeting new faces, hearing unique stories, and sharing a few of my own (I’ve got some good ones!).
• Making friends on the go: Who doesn’t want friends scattered all over the world?
• Knowledge exchange: I’m always up for swapping tips, stories, or random life hacks—I’ve got plenty, and I bet you do too!
• Helping out: Whether it’s showing someone around, sharing a meal, or just being there to help out, I love giving back.
• The real vibe: Couchsurfing feels like being part of a big, global, fun-loving family—what’s not to love?

So yeah, I’m here for the adventure, the people, and the unforgettable experiences. Let’s make some memories!

Interests

Hey there!

I’m someone who believes life is all about exploring, learning, and sharing. I’m a traveler at heart, an IT geek by profession, and a curious soul always looking for new experiences.

What do I bring to the table? Well, apart from my love for great conversations, I can teach you a thing or two—whether it’s how to say “hello” in Hindi, fix a tech issue, or even hit a cricket ball like a pro (okay, maybe semi-pro).

I’m also on a mission to master languages like Spanish, French, and Italian, so don’t be surprised if I casually ask, “How do you say amazing in your language?” Don’t worry, I promise not to overload you with questions—just enough to keep things interesting.

Oh, and if you love food, you’re in luck. I’m not Gordon Ramsay, but I can cook up some quick dishes, including a touch of Indian spices that’ll make your taste buds dance.

In short, I’m here for the connections, the laughs, and the shared moments. Let’s exchange stories, skills, and maybe even recipes. Who knows, we might both end up learning something new and unforgettable!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Cooking..😁

Teach, Learn, Share

I can help you learn Hindi, English, or even some Turkish—three languages, one guest! If you’re into tech, I’m your go-to for Azure, AWS, Excel, Grafana, or Postgres DB. Want to try coding? I’ve got you covered with Python, app building, or troubleshooting tech stuff. Fun and geeky vibes guaranteed!

Learn:
I’m picking up Spanish, French, and Italian, so feel free to teach me a few words in your language. I won’t overwhelm you with questions—just a casual “What’s this called?” kind of learner. In return, I’ll teach you the Hindi equivalent, and we’ll have a laugh swapping words.

Share:
Got a cool word? I’ll make sure it sticks by using it in fun ways—like saying “delicious” in your language while we cook or eat. By the end, we’ll both have some new vocab to flaunt! I’m also happy to share life hacks, tech tips, or even how to fix stuff. Let’s exchange ideas and make it fun!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Well, here’s the deal:
• Tech Troubleshooter Extraordinaire: Got a stubborn Wi-Fi router? A laptop throwing tantrums? I’m your go-to IT guy! I can help fix, troubleshoot, or even just geek out about tech stuff.
• Cricket Coach-in-Training: Ever wanted to learn cricket? I can teach you the basics (or a bit more, if you’re up for it). Warning: I might take it very seriously if we start playing! 🏏
• Amateur Chef Adventures: I’m not a pro, but I can whip up some quick dishes. If you’re into Indian cuisine, I’d love to cook something flavorful for you—think spices, aromas, and all the goodness of Indian food!
• Fun Conversations: Whether it’s travel stories, cultural exchanges, or random life hacks, I’m all about great conversations over a meal or tea.
• Helping Hands: Need help with something around the house? I’m always up for lending a hand!

Basically, I bring good vibes, practical help, and hopefully some delicious food to the table. Let’s make it a fun and memorable exchange!
