About me

Hello folks, I am a 3rd year Computer Science B.Tech student studying at National Institute of Technology, Durgapur, West Bengal.
I have fair amount of coding experience with Java, C, C++, Python, Django, HTML, CSS, Javascript, PHP!
I was introduced to the world of open-source an year ago! And I have enjoyed every bit of it! Am a rabid contributor, and believe in the principle of FOSS, that we should share whatever we know, for the greater benefit of the community and in turn yourself.
Most time of the day I am glued to my laptop, but when not, I listen MJ songs, sleep, eat chocolates, and play pokemon.
