I'm a software engineer and also a part time philanthropist (effective altruist)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because it's the best way to learn and enjoy while traveling. It's a culture I want everyone to be a part of and I'm doing my part.

Interests

I love learning, asking interesting questions and trying to answer/explain them well. Meeting fun people is surely something I look forward to all the time.
