I've been writing (ideas and notes mainly) since 2000 or earlier. Around November 2014 I think I started researching writing itself and eventually from 2015 writing, reading and research became my primary activities. I've already written more than 4500 pages, but I’m still away from a completed first novel (in my own novel series). Further, please note that I might (in future) write non-fiction too.

Development and maintenance of software for a small transport company using Python, Django, HTML, CSS and JavaScript - involving computerization of the entire process of a transport company from scratch including deliveries, bills, bill-receivables, various reports, driver/cleaner payroll, etc. as per their requirements. The total number of hours worked on this system would be about 500 hours, but the system is still in use and I still support them for about 10 hours per year on an as needed basis.

I was a part-time mentee (programmer and writer) at Linux Foundation on the “Linux Kernel Bug Fixing Fall Unpaid 2022” program. I learnt/refreshed a lot related to Linux kernel development process, C, navigation and debugging of the Linux kernel sources and Rust as a part of this program as Linux 6.1 added Rust support. I will participate again (when time permits) as this is a long-term interest.

Wrote a code generator and several libraries for a generic information system usable across several domains similar in nature to retail, sales, marketing, HR and manufacturing. Also partially implemented the aforementioned information system.
