Hi, I’m Rishi Giri (CodeDotJS, DotJS, r8x), a Computer Science Engineering Student. I’m not sure when I’ll get rid of the “CSE Student” part from my introduction, but I don’t see it happening soon. Although a large portion of my life revolves around learning, building, experimenting, and tinkering with things related to the web and computers, I’m not a nerd or a geek. I avoid labels, and in a twist of events, I decided to stop calling myself a programmer. I think this 0.1x chef justifies to what I do. I enjoy cooking, but the scope remain diverse. I wish I could sugarcoat everything and take the moral high ground to present myself as someone who is blindly devoted to tech, but what purpose does it serve? I wish to keep my eyes open. It’s refreshing.

There is nothing extraordinary about me, but I consider myself an enthusiastic learner. I’m driven by curiosity, deadlines and a little bit of stress. It’s what keeps me going. I love working for a cause, and I find great pleasure in exploring Web Technologies, Programming languages, Computer Networking, Distributed Systems, Operating System, and Open Source Software. Apart from the tech, I treasure studying and digging into topics related to History, Philosophy, Politics, and Religion. I have a genuine interest in exploring and understanding subjects like Neuroscience and Psychology. I’m not a devoted reader or writer and I stay away from the tags, but I try to read or write from time to time.

I admire Aaron Swartz. He’s been a great inspiration to me for a long time.
