Interests

When I'm bored, I try to write scripts for automation to help me with routine tasks. Have a look at my Github profile to see few fun projects I worked on, among these my favorites are Codex and dictJS.

While in college, I liked to do competitive coding, I have put up a collection of solutions to the problems I worked upon, on github by the name My-DS-Algo-code


Apart from being a web developer, I like to read books on psychology, human behaviour and browse reddit . And I like to play foosball.

When forced indoors, I like to watch (psychological) thriller movies and series, read blogs.
