I’ll miss your funny quips. I’ll miss the long discussions we used to have about about the craziest topics (like the differences in mentality between people who are interested in the humanities versus the sciences). I’ll miss going to eat greasy, yummy food

A bit more than two years ago I was anxiously heading towards the reception of the Google Zurich office. I didn’t know what to expect, but I was very excited. One year ago, I was oncall, dying of heat in my home. Today, I am on my last oncall
