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 learning new stuff and coming up with creative solutions. I care about the work that I do. I am incredibly passionate about the environment, love volunteering and spending time in the beautiful outdoors.
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'm passionate about giving back to the community and the environment (ask me about non-toxic detergents if you can't think of a conversation starter, lol). IMO, being kind and helpful is one of the most important qualities one could possess. I love visiting historic places and secluded water-bodies, LOVE national parks and aim to visit all 63 of them someday. I used to be 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.
