Hi, I’m Charlie! I’m a Vietnamese American born and raised in San Jose, California. I studied Computer Science at the University of California, Irvine, and will be starting work as a software development engineer at Amazon in April. I’m looking to move to Seattle!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I’m flying to Seattle for a week to check housing units I might be interested in living at. It would also be nice to meet some folks in the area!

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: Most music. From pop, hip-hop, and dance, to classical and Korean pop.

Movies: Family movies like Ice Age and The Incredibles. Not a big fan of violent/horror movies.

Books: Not reading a book currently, but my favorite genres are fantasy and mystery.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I passed my driver’s license test on the first try with less than two weeks of practice!

Teach, Learn, Share

I have some interest in machine learning and AI, so those topics and anything generally related to technology are nice to discuss. I love listening to people talk about topics they have a strong passion for. I play a bit of guitar, but not that well :-)
I like learning new crafts and neat tricks, like the fastest shoelace knot!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I have a Nintendo Switch, so we can play Smash Bros Ultimate! I’m also open to playing basketball!
