Hi, I'm Kaspars, a software engineer and musician with a knack for community projects. I've always got a couple of side projects, but my full time job role is Neural DSP, where I build web infrastructure and applications.

In my free time I make the most of my degree in Philosophy and love for sound. As a host for the music show "NABA Top," I've attached the local underground music scene to my blood stream. And sometimes I, myself, also contribute to this music.

I'm excited to befriend fellow nerds and creatives. Tell me your life stories and let's jam!

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

You may never know if you're going to lend your couch to your future best friend or land on your future best friend's couch.

兴趣

Gaining experience is my pastime, job and calling. I like the distinct notions of empeiria and pathos: roughly, gaining experience as in from practicing and studying and experiencing as in being being 'there', respectively.

I like to think experience with people can't be crammed into the first idea - people are more interesting than bits of information.

音乐、电影和书籍

I love jazz, post-rock and contemporary classical music. I enjoy Steve Reich's music, Mogwai, all of Mark Guiliana's projects (Donny McCaslin, Mehliana, Bowie's Blackstar, etc).

The bookshelf hosts popular-scientific and academic literature in various fields: philosophy, anthropology, cognitive science, etc. Recently I've been discovering poetry.

I'm very open to finding something new!

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

Narrated an audio book for the blind.

I've gone through quite a lot of madness to get where I am with the book: I had no money, so I earned that book by busking. I came to the book opening, and the publishers were so touched by the literal sack of coins that I brought, they gave one to me as a gift. In order to start the project, I had to borrow a friend's microphone and begin learning sound engineering because the studio the organization offers is usually packed.

I never finished the book because the coordinator retired before I finished, but it kicked off my voice acting side hustle.

教，学，和分享

If you can teach me something, I'm all ears. To me, learning is bonding.
