Welcome

Introduction

Hi, I'm Ravi. I've always been interested in computers and have been tinkering with it from very early on. When I had no access to internet, I would explore System32 on my Windows XP machine.

I enjoy systems programming and get excited when I get to see good old ASM. My few favorite subject in the undergraduate program were.

- Computer Organization
- Computer Networks
- Operating Systems
- Microprocessor
- Cryptography


I was intrigued by how clicking on shutdown button translated into computer actually shutting down physically. Learning about that during the undergraduate course made me love CS even more.

In short, I like to code, like to talk about code and like to watch other people code ;)
