About Me

I have worked and study in different countries since 2007 and have friends ranging from heavy metal drummers to astrophysicists. So surely, we could hang out ☺️

At the moment I am split between Switzerland, Sweden and France for work and Denmark for fun.

I am musician and a jam lover, here some music: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k70stDZ3P_8 This one was done at the NYE 2012 CS meeting, it was just amazing: https://vimeo.com/35446274 PHILOSOPHY Passion is connected with talents.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

At Montreux Jazz festival I was next to Quincy Jones and I didn't recognize him. We started talking about the concert and given his insightful comments I asked him if he was a musician o_O.

For those who don't know who's that guy (as me hahaa)he holds 27 grammys including a Grammy Legend Award.

Teach, Learn, Share

I prefer to talk about meaningful things when possible - things such as: What's your passion? What's the driver in your life?... so don't get scared:)
