About
I am a freelance new media designer + developer and a full time engineering student from Chennai, India. I started learning web development by accident in mid 2005 and I have since been addicted to the medium and its nuances. I believe in simple, uncomplicated design. I also have a strong passion for web standards, CSS, usability and accessibility.
This blog has served various purposes over the years. I used to once write here just simply because I loved writing. More recently, postings have thinned down quite a bit as work and studies have caught up with me. I also write at Design Shack.
I have been fairly involved with ThinkQuest, an educational web development competition that fosters interaction and collaborative learning amongst students from a multitude of geographical, social and ethnic backgrounds. You can read some of my thoughts on the competition and how it has shaped me over here.
Apart from designing on the web, I also love programming. Thanks to my engineering background and my own interest in programming, I am pretty proficient and love dabbling with C,C++, Java and PHP. I strongly believe in the spirit of FOSS.
My time away from the computer is mostly spent reading, mostly non-fiction. I used to play Cricket for my high school team and I still love watching the game.
Lately, I have started experimenting and exploring new areas of design – with my adventures with letterpress being the latest.
