About me

I am a student of Linguistics at King's College London, an avid graphic designer, writer, and dabbler in all things awesome.

I enjoy experimental cooking, photography, adventure, poetry and most things involving new technology

I can fly airplanes and am a part of the group of youngest participants to ever scuba dive astronaut-style at NASA. I work part-time as an indie developer and designer for Microsoft's Windows Phone and Windows 8 application platforms, but have in the past been everything from a journalist at the Times of India to floor staff at a posh restaurant. I have an obsession with trying to beat the system.

I would love to learn how to fence (no, not that kind of fencing, though...), to travel around the world, and to figure out how to tell one wine from another. In exchange, I've been told that I am good company and can probably be of some value to someone (I hope). :D
