About Me

I like to design and control robots to move and behave as intended by the operator. I have a keen inclinaison to exoskeletons and systems in relation to artistic purposes, such as dancing with robots and interactive drawing.

During my free time, I am a photo amateur, which I use as a dairy journal to log ideas and memories.
I also play the violin from time to time, especially Irish gigs and classical music.
I also do yoga, meditation, and boxing, to put some sense in the hard, but conscious way :)

I am very open-minded concerning food, but I tend to limit my meat consumption and processed food.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing is a great opportunity to travel without moving from the couch while receiving people around.
On the other hand, meeting locals allows to reflect on the life on the other side of our own comfort zone.

Interests

I give introduction classes to yoga, I am not an instructor, just very enthusiastic about it.
I like also to give photo tutorial, to have partners while doing some photo shoot.
I am always looking for a sparring partner.
