I'm a computer science student currently living in Boston, MA, USA. I like coffee, pickling, and am passionate about social issues.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've heard so many positive stories about couchsurfing that I decided to join. I've hosted people unofficially, and have some experience staying with friends / friends of friends when traveling. Feels right to extend that to couchsurfing.

Interests

My work involves analyzing human behavioral data (from mobile phones, social networks, etc). Outside of that, I like to hike, bike, play nerdy games (think catan, dungeons and dragons, and any number of other board games), pickle stuff (think vegetables), and play with dogs.

Music, Movies, and Books

Listen to lots of things, but I listen to a non-insignificant amount of funk, general indie rock, and jazz. Big fan of most Paul Thomas Anderson movies (The Master, Inherent Vice, ...), and Noir.
