Hello!

My name is Jimmy and I'm from Costa Rica.

I'm a Cloud Computing Engineer and I work in a software consultant company, I’ve been developing software since 2009.

Also, one of my favorites hobbies is to play chess with my friends (I was a chess player, during 13 years of my life) and I like to go out for mountain hiking at weekends.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on Couchsurfing because I have had the experience of travel around the world and I know that sometimes find a place to sleep might be struggling. In order to help, I want to offer my home to anybody dealing with this kind of troubles.

Well, I'm a computer engineer and I'm from Costa Rica, so, I could help you with computers, electronic devices, web applications and big-data stuff. Also, I could bring to you some Costa Rican coffee (it's really delicious) and while we're drinking coffee, maybe we could play a chess game, talk about social challenges nowadays or share my knowledge about AI. In general, I like to talk and learn from others, so I'm a open-mind person.
