I like finding out how things work so that I can improve them and I also like to read, contemplate and communicate my insights to others. That is why I started my PhD in Computer Science a couple of years ago.
Peer-to-Peer Search Engines are the focus of my research, as I believe these systems hold the key to the Internet’s future. I prefer applied research, as seeing the direct practical value of what I am doing is important to me. Perhaps this is because of my engineering background.
As any person, I am more than just my work. I like to be among friends, relax during a sunny afternoon, daydream, hear a tune and try to play it on my keyboard, go to parties and festivals, sit back and watch a movie trying to uncover the subtle underlying messages, play around with a new gadget, be drawn into the story of a book, and I like to shoot and edit video to share with others. The list goes on, but to find out more about what cool stuff is keeping me busy: I suggest you follow my blog.
