About Me

Since my childhood, I was fascinated by computers and technology. At 10, I was curious enough to learn PowerPoint on my own. As a result, I spent years of my childhood learning about them, fixing my computer, taking apart hard drives.

I've spent countless hours playing Condition Zero, Total Overdose, Grand Theft Auto, Need For Speed etc. I first learnt programming using QBasic during my school, thanks to Windows XP & computer viruses I learnt the habit of fixing errors, early in life.

Other than programming I enjoy astrophotography, a hobby I picked up casually exploring my phone camera's capabilities, I've captured different shots of moons, stars & nebulas. During my college, I started writing my own blog, The Zero Days of Life where I write about my daily life, my failures, challenges etc.

My work is a reflection of my inspirations. I have been very much inspired by fictional characters, music & programmers, people such as Iron Man (for putting his passion for technology above everything else), Rocky Balboa (for never giving up), Kevin Mitnick (for being my hacker inspiration), Linus Torvalds (for his beautiful contribution to open source), Karate Kid (for teaching me wax on, wax off!), Pink Floyd (for every one of their life altering hits).
