I'm currently doing my PhD in the area of programming language design. Used to be a software developer. Except for my job I enjoy reading books and watching movies, like traveling and learning about different cultures.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It seems to be a cool way to meet some local people and get a free guide ;)

Music, Movies, and Books

Joy Division, The Doors, Muse, SOAD and many more.
Forrest Gump, Fight Club, Dogville, Rain Man, Mozart and a Whale and so on. And yeah, also many soviet movies you probably never heard about ;)
I like Orwell, Huxley, Feuchtwanger, Remark... and I certainly have forgotten many others. Also lots of Russian authors (unfortunately I mostly read in Russian if it's not about my job).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Joined PhD program after six years in industry ;)

Teach, Learn, Share

I can probably teach you some Russian (really, I'm not sure, it's my native language so I have no idea how to teach it) and some basic Italian. I can teach you Haskell and probably a handful of other programming languages ;)
