Interests

Outside of my work as a QA/Web Developer, I love expressing my creativity through sketching and drawing. I also find peace and inspiration in the mountain life of my hometown in Uttarakhand, where I enjoy the serenity whenever possible.

Spending quality time with my family is important to me, and I cherish those small moments. I’m also a big fan of sci-fi movies, and in my free time, I’m often exploring the latest advancements in technology, keeping myself updated on the newest trends and innovations in the IT industry.
