For a past few years I have been in transition from gastro to data job.
In the past 7 years was working in many restaurants as a cook and was running kitchen for 3 years as a chef.
2023 I started MSc studies in Applied Information and Data Science @ Lucerne University of Applied Sciences.
Was fired from gasro job and now I am fresh data manager at Lubio Science.
So, I live in Chur, work in Zurich and study in Lucerne - that's the journeys that left to enjoy in my busy life for now :D

Before moving from Lithuania, I was active guitar player in reggae/dub band Ministry of echology.
You can check some cool YT clips or listen us on Spotify.

Before that I had much fun with music. I was playing:
