I am Patrick. I originate from Cote d'Ivoire where I grew up. I went to France to study. I lived there for almost 7 years. It is there that I first started CS. I also traveled in Europe. A few years ago, I relocated to the United States, to San Francisco, California. I am into tech and entrepreneurship. I love traveling. In my spare time, I try photography, trying ethnic cuisine, and refreshing walks in the outdoors among other things.
