To be someone, or to do something. Currently trying to change the world through technology.

I lace my words with irony and spend my time being clever to stave off boredom and existential nausea.

When I'm not working, I love music, beer, learning, and beautiful things.

And I love jokes. Always, jokes.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
