CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

I'm open-minded, I like to talk about almost everything, to discover new cultures and make people discover mine. I'm always up for sports, or a movie, or a concert, or a drink and a game of babyfoot or pool.

I wish I had a particular talent for arts or sports or learning languages quickly or anything that would make me rich and famous without any effort, but I guess my only talent is being reasonably operational in most aspects of life.

Overall, I think I have enough social skills to guarantee that spending a night with me should not be a complete waste of time.

I moved from Montréal to Paris two years ago to come study Transportation engineering. For my last year in school, I'll be doing a part-time internship at the SNCF and therefore, I get really cheap train tickets. I plan to use that as much as possible this year to visit this beautiful country, and I hope CS will help me find people who can show me around and even let me sleep on their couch !

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Bungee jumping is amazing !
And taking the boat that brings you to the bottom of Niagara falls is amazing too ! It looks like a big tourist trap, but it's actually worth it.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you about basic programming and use of databases that could save you hours and hours in your everyday tasks at the office. I can share my knowledge of transportation systems, of what goes on behind the scenes when you take a train, a metro or a plane.
I'd like to learn about advanced programming, software design and database engineering from people who really do that in their life.
