About Me
Hi, I'm Chaitanya. I'm a software developer from New Delhi, India and a CS alumni of the University of Delhi. I have a wide variety of interests, ranging from Web Dev, Design and CyberSecurity to Photography, Theatre and Skateboarding. I love reading about History, Geopolitics, Psychology, Linguistics and Art.
I love to learn new things. Curiosity is the prime motivator for me. If I find something that catches my eye, well, I'll be in my room tinkering with it for the next few weeks.
I love playing Chess and reading any books that I can lay my hands on. I'm especially interested in Sci-Fi and non-fiction that can provide me a new perspective to look at the world through.
I also love listening to FKJ . He's my second favorite recording artist after lofi chillhop beats to study/relax to ;)
