Christoph Champ
Welcome to Christoph Champ's personal website.
I am a Cloud Solution Architect, Cloud Engineer, DevOps Engineer, Linux System Administrator, scientific programmer, computational biologist, and web developer.
I am a Third Culture Kid (or TCK). I have lived in or have traveled to 56 countries to date (as of January 2020). I consider myself a "citizen of the world", as I call no one country my home.
My interests are wide and I actively pursue ideas. I am training to become a scientist, however, I do not see this as just a future career; I see it as a way of life.
I also have a great number of hobbies and am always adding more.
My love of books runs deep. I try to read for at least an hour every day (books unrelated to my studies).
In my spare time, I create, maintain, and host websites.
I love languages and learning them and I speak a few. However, English is my primary language. As a side note, I prefer British English in speech and writing.
My father, older brother, and I have been trying to set personal records of any kind for many years. These include anything from the most countries visited, the highest mountain climbed, the furthest north or south in latitude, the most timezones visited, etc.
Finally, I have a great group of friends and a great family. I try to promote them in any way I can. Because of this, there will be links to articles and sites showing their work.
"The world is my country, all mankind are my brethren, and to do good is my religion". — Thomas Paine
"My life is tethered to a rolling stone. My dreams are anchored in the wind. I come from here. I come from there. In truth, I come from everywhere. My tongue does not have a mother. My language is an open mind. Before I learned how to walk, I already knew how to fly. Comfort to me is a constant motion. Continent to continent. Ocean to ocean." — Les Passagers
