Working as an artificial intelligence (AI) engineer at DeepMind (Google). Previously at Microsoft (HoloLens - think 3D holograms).

I love traveling, exploring new cultures, learning languages (5 so far ^^), making new friends but who doesn't!? ❤

I also have a YouTube channel 🛎 dedicated to explaining AI-related topics:

Note: I have a girlfriend and I am not using this app as a dating app - only to meet cool people from all around the world :))

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to meet the locals wherever I may go, I think that's the best way to explore a new culture and make new friends! And make a life full of valuable experiences. ❤
