AI engineer by day, overly enthusiastic about everything I love by night. Big on live music, cooking for people, sports, spontaneous plans, and finding someone who makes ordinary weekdays feel like something worth remembering.
Six cards. Keep scrolling — they stack. Like my feelings for whoever finally watches a full F1 race with me.
I'm curious about pretty much everything, and I tend to get genuinely invested in the people I care about. I'll remember the random story you told me three weeks ago, send you something because it made me think of you, and probably ask way too many questions about whatever you're currently obsessed with. I like making plans, but I'm equally happy with a spontaneous "there are tickets tonight" decision. I'm ambitious and pretty driven, but I don't want my life to be all work. I care a lot about my friends, love hosting people, cook like I'm feeding twice as many people as are actually coming, and will happily turn an ordinary Tuesday into dinner, drinks, a game, or a last-minute concert. I'm a little intense about the things I love — music, sports, food, photography — but I think enthusiasm is a good quality to have. Mostly, I'm looking for something that feels like having a best friend you also really want to kiss. Someone to build a life with, laugh at stupid things with, and keep choosing each other when life gets busy.
Someone to build a life with — preferably one involving good food, ridiculous concerts, spontaneous plans, and a lot of laughing at things that aren't actually that funny.
Cricket, Basketball, Soccer, F1 — I watch all of it and I have opinions. Strong ones. This is a feature, not a bug.
I remember what you said you were stressed about last week. I'll send you a song because I think you'll like it. I'll ask follow-up questions about the thing you're excited about even if I know absolutely nothing about it. And if you've had a terrible day, there's probably food involved.
Their names are Olly and Ozzy. They have opinions about guests. They will judge you slowly. They will eventually sit on you — which is basically a formal endorsement.
Most of my time goes into AI workflows, ML applications, and data-driven products — somewhere between engineering, product thinking, and making AI genuinely useful for real people. Photography used to be the full-time world; now it's a creative outlet without the 3am client edits.
Senior manager of the household. Expert at choosing the most inconvenient surface to sit on. Intimidates guests on first meeting, falls asleep on them within the hour.
🎮 Watches me game
Junior manager, currently experiencing a power trip. Meows with the urgency of a five-alarm fire at 5am about absolutely nothing. We stan.
😴 Professional napperYears of freelance work — concerts, streets, portraits, food. If the light was interesting, I shot it.

There is nothing — nothing — like being in a crowd when the song hits live. Fred again is at the top of that list. The man makes music that feels like a feeling you forgot you had. Sweaty basements, rooftops, arena shows — give me all of it.
Green flags and honest warnings — everything you'd normally find out by month two, disclosed up front.
Tell me something once and there's a decent chance I'll remember it three weeks later. If you're important to me, I'm going to pay attention.
I genuinely like seeing people I care about succeed. I will celebrate your promotion, your weird side project, your 5K, your good presentation, whatever it is. Probably louder than necessary.
If you're having a rough week, I won't necessarily know how to fix it. But I'll check in, bring food, listen to you complain, and make sure you know you're not dealing with it alone.
Doesn't always need to be a big date. Sometimes it's cooking dinner, watching a game, finding a new bar, or deciding at 7pm that we should go somewhere.
When I love something, I really love it. Music, food, sports, work, people. “Casually interested” isn't really my setting.
Full conversations. Different voices. Zero shame. They have opinions and unfortunately I respect them.
ou said you weren't hungry. I heard “give me twenty minutes and I'll make something.”
If I'm cooking, I'm in charge. You are welcome to assist via moral support and mandatory tasting.
"Kind, genuine, and curious! He will always check up on me when I've gone MIA (so you can be a busy ambitious girl and he will proactively support you and be patient and respectful about your priorities— bare minimum but not so common). He will share things or invite you to join in on stuff you enjoy—he remembers what you like and is intentionally interested in it. I also appreciate how inquisitive he is about everything, which makes him a fun person to be around since he'll throw random trivia at you. 10/10 cooking skills. Highly recommend."
"If you're looking for someone who can have a genuinely meaningful conversation one minute and have you laughing over the most random fact the next, he's your person. He somehow manages to keep things both thoughtful and light, and that's one of the reasons we've stayed friends from college through to now, even living in different countries. He's the kind of friend who quietly shows up. If I've disappeared into work or life for a while, he'll be the one checking in through texts and initiating group calls with friends. He's definitely a keeper :)"
"Cooks amazing foooood!!! He's also extremely smart and helped my friends a lot in their assignments. Is really good at photography but never clicked my photos."
If you've made it this far, I think we should at least get a drink. Worst case, we discover we're better as friends, eat something good, and I send you home with a song recommendation. Best case? Well, that's kind of the point of this whole website. Come say hi.
