I also enjoy traveling, exploring new cultures, and
giving guest
lectures about my open research methodology, tools and self-learning
computer systems.
Some of my past nostalgic drawings which I sketched when I was 10 years old:

2010.June.3 - I joined Alchemy team from INRIA to play in the INRIA Saclay football competition
