About Me

Technology hacker, software engineer, and writer.

I am a technology hacker and love working with JavaScript.

You can find my work profile details below.

In my free time I play guitar and my harmonica and sometimes sing too. It would be easy to make out that I love food by my appearance. I also like to explore around on the web as much as possible and experiment with smaller products. I also have developed an itch to read and write poetries.
