About me

I'm a curious, adventurous and worldly human. I've been known as a software engineer (by passion and by profession), a polyglot (FR/EN/ES/PT/DE/IT/中文), an amateur pianist, a backpacker and Couchsurfer, a Toastmaster, a flying trapezist, and other unsuspected things.

Born and raised in Montréal, Canada. Spent 10 years in the US, and lived on 3 continents.
