CURRENT MISSION

Slowly traveling the world and learning more about people when I get the chance. Moved to Seattle, WA in late 2016 from Cleveland, OH. Moved to Pittsburgh, PA in 2022.

ABOUT ME

I love music, math, and art. I speak English and Russian fluently (born in Moscow and moved to the states when I was 11). I do math and computer science professionally (machine learning /artificial intelligence). I'm pretty good at talking about anything and will keep a good conversation going. I drink a lot of espresso and some beer. I'm also terrible at making sentences that don't start with "I." Just kidding!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It's a great opportunity to meet people.

Interests

Math, Computer Science, Music, Travel, etc.

Music, Movies, and Books

One of my favorite books I've read recently is "The End of Everything" by Katie Mack. It's a popular science book.

I've been on a horror movie kick lately. Watched "Hereditary" (2018) which was pretty cool. "Midsommar" (2019) is still a favorite from the last 10 years. I also watch sci-fi and drama and comedy.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I recently drove around all of Iceland!

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm currently learning piano. I've played guitar since high school.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Good conversations and we should try to explore the city and just hang out.
