Confessions of a Reluctant Self-Blogger
Confessing time: writing about myself ranks just below “forced small talk” for me on the agony scale. But hey, here we go – let’s debug the awkwardness together.
Current Status: Debug Mode
- Learning Golang (because I liked their logo – fight me)
- Plotting my next mountain-and-beer combo destination
- Convincing my wife that “watching” extreme sports counts as exercise
Professional Debugging (The Day Job)
QA Engineer who treats bugs like personal vendettas. 5+ years of making developers question their life choices, one failed test at a time. Currently exploring automation because manual testing is for people with more patience than me.
Homebody Mode: Activated
Give me a good internet connection and a trusty gadget (or two… or three), and I’ll nest indoors for days. Bonus points if there’s an Xbox standing guard nearby.
Daydreaming, Deluxe Edition
My ultimate “doing nothing” day? Parking myself somewhere with a mountain or beach view, a cold Chang or Nepal Ice, and a one-man karaoke session humming (badly) to my own playlist. Pure bliss.
Explorer Settings: On
Drop me into a new city, and I morph into
- a color-chasing wanderer
- an infrastructure-awed tourist (bridges > monuments, always)
- a smiley people-watcher and secret street art critic (cities tell stories through walls)
With You in Spirit(s)
Watching my wife hero her way through extreme sports “she totally volunteered for” is my favorite competitive sport. Cheerleader, not participant – everyone’s safer that way.
Main Character Energy (in the Background)
- Roaming Dhaka? Nope. You’ll understand if you’ve ever tried dodging rickshaws and existential dread.
- Family or friends? Curated list, 2-3 max.
- Religion, politics, or “best language” debates online? Swipe left, always.
Things I’m Definitely Not Doing
- Running marathons (walking to the fridge counts as cardio)
- Starting a podcast about productivity
- Becoming a LinkedIn influencer
Career Philosophy
Low profile, enough work to fuel my next trip and keep the adventure meter running. Pirate’s life if given the option (eye patch not included).
