Code, debug, fix. Who am I kidding? Code, debug, hit your head on the wall repeatedly, and then fix it.
I wish to work in a fast-paced and challenging environment where I'll have to spend a fair amount of time on Stack-Overflow, learning new stuff and coming up with creative solutions.
P.S: You're right, this is a default bootstrap résumé template, because why not? :P

Interests

Apart from programming/web-development, I spend most of my time reading, writing, listening to music, watching Anime/Sitcoms, etc. I love visiting historic places and secluded water-bodies. I used to be very actively involved in sports, but haven't gotten a chance to get back at it after my undergrad. I also enjoy teaching, attending workshops, playing the Piano and Violin, community service, learning about different cultures and new languages, Philately and Numismatics.

I'm an avid reader of Quora and an aspiring writer/blogger. A few of my all-time favourite novels include the Harry Potter series, The Inheritance series, Percy Jackson and Heroes of Olympus series, Dan Brown's and Robin Cook's books. I love listening to Celtic music and rapping (or attempting to).
