I've been interested in fine arts since childhood. In 11th grade, I chose it as an optional subject at SSSSS Gurukulam and created many drawings, which I've compiled into a portfolio.

I enjoy reading a wide range of books, from modern self-help to timeless Vedic scriptures. My reading list includes "Atomic Habits," "The Time Machine," "The Art of Smart Work," and biographies of great personalities like Swami Vivekananda and Srila Prabhupada.

"śravaṇaṁ kīrtanaṁ viṣṇoḥ smaraṇaṁ pāda-sevanam..."

I love to code and build things. It's not just a skill, but a hobby. I'm always working on new projects, solving problems, and learning new technologies.

• This very portfolio website is one of my latest projects.
• I use my channel, DevXArtist, to share video demos of my work.
• All my open-source code is available on GitHub.

Managing YouTube channels is a major hobby. It's the perfect blend of technology and creativity, involving video editing, graphic design, SEO optimization, and audience engagement.
