I'm a nerd from Canada. I studied at UC Berkeley, and worked on artificial intelligence at Facebook for two years before leaving to build a startup. Eventually stopped working on that, now I'm doing nothing except slowly flying around the planet 🙌

I love talking about AI and startups.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To make friends, mainly. It's hard to make new friends, especially in new cities!

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm open to almost anything, I love the Killers, RHCP, and pop like Justin Bieber or Ariana Grande, and also Jazz if I'm in the mood. I read mostly sci-fi and self-help nowadays, such as House of Suns and Atomic Habits respectively.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Worked on machine learning at Facebook, protecting children from harm!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach tech and business concepts, having operated a silicon valley startup. I'll be especially helpful with data products and early stage operations.

I'm interested to learn about your culture and your life story! Also I'm really bad at dancing and would like to learn that too.
