My name is Gilles Clement Koupaki. Most people can't say my name right, those who do simply call me Gilles and everyone else just calls me G, or GC for short, AKA gsizzle, AKA tha unit, AKA gzone, AKA homelinux, AKA dot ORG. I 'm 25, I have a B.S From The University of Central Florida, and am an Information Technology Professional. I work for an Interactive Angency called MindComet, in Maitland, FL. I 'm from Africa , yea, straight from the Motherland.

Besides working all week, and being on call 24/7, I enjoy working on my systems at home. I spend a few hours everyday working on something, or surfing the web doing some kind of research. I like playing with computer hardware and certain software. I mostly enjoy networking, troubleshooting, programming, web design, and Linux administration. I also play computer games once in a while, a game of Unreal Tournament, Hitman, NBA Live, or Need for Speed can do no wrong from time to time.

I like to travel. I have lived in different places, such as, Africa, Canada, and The U.S.A. I 'm currently living in Orlando Florida. Traveling with my family all these years has given me the ability to adapt to different environments. I have been around many different cultures. I have gone to school with many different races of people and I have always learned something from each one of them. This was gift that I have received at a very young age, and I am thankful for it. I fluently speak French and English. I do not speak as much French as I used to, but I am doing my best to keep it as an asset.

I have been an athlete since I was a child. I like playing basketball. I don't want to brag but I got some range (ask Softcodes, lol, he has been taken to shooting school a few times), those who have played against me should know ha-ha. I grew up playing soccer, and yes I was a star, lefties are always superstars (just playing), but I am a lefty for real. I also like working out. Thanks to my boy Saleem, I have grown to actually enjoy working out, and staying in shape. I like running, and any sport that is a little challenging.

I like mechanics. I love to work on my car whenever something is wrong with it, (Not that it breaks just in case you were wondering) but I have always been a hands on type of person, so as things came up, I started learning more and more about my car, and started fixing it as it needed. I came to learn it was a great way to save money. Fixing cars is not as hard as I thought it would be, as long as you don't go overboard with it. I keep it simple, so it is always an easy fix. Thanks to my boy Rey, I have learned more about cars than I had ever expected to learn ever. I am all about DIY, so there are a lot of DIY custom things that I have done to my car over the years. You can check out random pictures of my prelude in the Photo Album section.

I also enjoy gadgets, like cell phones, computers, and littles technology toys. That does not mean that I spend money buying all sorts of random things. Nah...like I said, I am a DIY type of person, so I always find things to tweak out, and make them work into whatever I want. I like planning things, designing stuff, and fun little projects for my house, like home networking throughout the house, DIY home theather system, I basically like DIY stuff, and cool stuff at the house for people who visit me go: oh, cool.

I 'm somewhat of a neat freak. I can't stand living in an unhealthy environment. I clean every week, otherwise I do not feel comfortable in my own place. My family has always shown me how to be clean, and living in a clean environment is very important for the well being of oneself, so I can only apply what I have learned from the people who raised me. The same goes for my car, I always keep it clean. When I was growing up, I always helped my dad keep his cars clean, so I guess that is where I get it from. I always ask people to respect my place when they visit. Those of you, who know, should be familiar with the line "I 'm known for kicking people out my house". I 'm not being hard, but if you don't tell people how it is when they come to your place, they won't know.

I like going out and have fun, but not as often as I have in the past. I have grown out of it somehow. I just like to chill and relax with my woman, or my friends. The same old scene gets tiring after a while. I like eating out, hanging out at home, watching movies, walking around places, and have a good time.
